    Lower body implants are designed according to the boundary conditions of gait data and tested against. However, due to diversity in cultural backgrounds, religious rituals might cause different ranges of motion and different loading patterns. Especially in the Eastern part of the world, diverse Activities of Daily Living (ADL) consist of salat, yoga rituals, and different style sitting postures. A database covering these diverse activities of the Eastern world is non-existent. This study focuses on data collection protocol and the creation of an online database of previously excluded ADL activities, targeting 200 healthy subjects via Qualisys and IMU motion capture systems, and force plates, from West and Middle East Asian populations with a special focus on the lower body joints. The current version of the database covers 50 volunteers for 13 different activities. The tasks are defined and listed in a table to create a database to search based on age, gender, BMI, type of activity, and motion capture system. The collected data is to be used for designing implants to allow these sorts of activities to be performed.

    Human-Robot Interfaces of the Neuroboscope: a Minimally Invasive Endoscopic Pituitary Tumor Surgery Robotic Assistance System
    (ASME, 2021) Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Kiper, Gökhan; Ayav, Tolga; Özdemirel, Barbaros; Tatlıcıoğlu, Enver; Hanalioğlu, Şahin; Işıkay, İlkay
    Endoscopic endonasal surgery is a commonly practiced minimally invasive neurosurgical operation for the treatment of a wide range of skull base pathologies including pituitary tumors. A common shortcoming of this surgery is the necessity of a third hand when the endoscope has to be handled to allow active use of both hands of the main surgeon. The robot surgery assistant NeuRoboScope system has been developed to take over the endoscope from the main surgeon's hand while providing the surgeon with the necessary means of controlling the location and direction of the endoscope. One of the main novelties of the NeuRoboScope system is its human-robot interface designs which regulate and facilitate the interaction between the surgeon and the robot assistant. The human-robot interaction design of the NeuRoboScope system is investigated in two domains: direct physical interaction (DPI) and master-slave teleoperation (MST). The user study indicating the learning curve and ease of use of the MST is given and this paper is concluded via providing the reader with an outlook of possible new human-robot interfaces for the robot assisted surgery systems.
