Progressive Experience Fusion for Multi-Task World Model Control in Endovascular Navigation
Harry Robertshaw, Maxence Boels, Nikola Fischer +4
Autonomous endovascular navigation could support the delivery of mechanical thrombectomy to underserved areas, but controllers must navigate long, multi-stage paths across varying…
Eversion-based robots can enable safe access,steering and endoscopic imaging within the spinal subarachnoid space
Zicong Wu, Panagiotis Kalozoumis, S. M. Hadi Sadati +8
Safe navigation within the spinal subarachnoid space is constrained by its narrow, compliant, and delicate anatomy. Conventional catheters and continuum robots rely on proximal pus…
Vascular Geometry Characterization for AI-Based Endovascular Navigation
Han-Ru Wu, Harry Robertshaw, Lisa Dwyer-Joyce +2
Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is a time-critical intervention for acute ischemic stroke; however, access remains limited due to a shortage of neuroradiologists and specialized cente…
Manual, Joystick, or Haptic Control? An In Vitro Comparison of Navigation Strategies for Robotic Interventional Neuroradiology Procedures
Benjamin Jackson, Nikola Fischer, Harry Robershaw +16
Objective: To evaluate robotic controller interfaces for interventional neuroradiology procedures in-vitro incorporating a force-sensing platform to assess safety. Methods: A custo…
Remote Teleoperation of Endovascular Intervention Robots: A Systematic Review
Xingyu Chen, Yinchao Yang, Nikola Fischer +5
Remote robotic-assisted endovascular intervention offers a promising approach to reduce clinician radiation exposure and physical strain, while extending specialized vascular care…
Towards Real-Time Autonomous Navigation: Transformer-Based Catheter Tip Tracking in Fluoroscopy
Harry Robertshaw, Yanghe Hao, Weiyuan Deng +6
Purpose: Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) improves stroke outcomes, but is limited by a lack of local treatment access. Widespread distribution of reinforcement learning (RL)-based rob…
