Surfing on an uncertain edge: Precision cutting of soft tissue using torque-based medium classification
Artūras Straižys, Michael Burke, Subramanian Ramamoorthy
Precision cutting of soft-tissue remains a challenging problem in robotics, due to the complex and unpredictable mechanical behaviour of tissue under manipulation. Here, we conside…
