| Abstract | This paper builds on previous work on the biologically inspired microtexturing of next-generation neurosurgical probes [3]. It reports on the outcome of a feasibility study, where a biomimetic robotic actuator was used to demonstrate effective soft tissue traversal (i.e. motion along the surface of a soft tissue) through the reciprocating motion of custombuilt anisotropic surface textures, without the need to apply an external force to push the tissue along the surface and while causing minimum tissue damage. The protocol applied to characterize the interaction between the samples and the different tissues was considered, including parameters such as texture size and geometry, normal load, frictional forces and reciprocating speed and acceleration. A number of microtextured samples, with features including every combination of two teeth geometries (triangular and fin-like) and three tooth sizes (500µm, 100µm and 50µm tooth height), were manufactured and mounted onto a custom-built reciprocating mechanism. First, a variety of soft tissue specimens was tested to qualify the sample/tissue interaction behavior. Subsequently, a comparative study on agarose gel and gelatin was performed to investigate the motion characteristics and resulting tissue damage on brainlike material and to explore what conditions are needed to achieve forward motion. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
