Trajectory-Optimized Sensing for Active Search of Tissue Abnormalities in Robotic Surgery
Hadi Salman, Elif Ayvali, Rangaprasad Arun Srivatsan +6
In this work, we develop an approach for guiding robots to automatically localize and find the shapes of tumors and other stiff inclusions present in the anatomy. Our approach uses…

Ergodic Coverage In Constrained Environments Using Stochastic Trajectory Optimization
Elif Ayvali, Hadi Salman, Howie Choset
In search and surveillance applications in robotics, it is intuitive to spatially distribute robot trajectories with respect to the probability of locating targets in the domain. E…

Using Bayesian Optimization to Guide Probing of a Flexible Environment for Simultaneous Registration and Stiffness Mapping
Elif Ayvali, Rangaprasad Arun Srivatsan, Long Wang +3
One of the goals of computer-aided surgery is to match intraoperative data to preoperative images of the anatomy and add complementary information that can facilitate the task of s…
