Proof-of-concept study of the TriBot: a robot-based test setup for biotribological analyses of curved articular surfaces
Our findings showed that the robotic tribometer is suitable for friction measurements on complexly shaped samples and that the system can detect differences in cartilage friction due to structural tissue damage. Overall, the robotic tribometer has the potential to advance our understanding of the knee joint's friction-related functionality.
