Towards the Development of a Tendon-Actuated Galvanometer for Endoscopic Surgical Laser Scanning
Kent K. Yamamoto, Tanner J. Zachem, Behnam Moradkhani +2
There is a need for precision pathological sensing, imaging, and tissue manipulation in neurosurgical procedures, such as brain tumor resection. Precise tumor margin identification…
An FBG-based Stiffness Estimation Sensor for In-vivo Diagnostics
Behnam Moradkhani, Pejman Kheradmand, Harshith Jella +4
In-vivo tissue stiffness identification can be useful in pulmonary fibrosis diagnostics and minimally invasive tumor identification, among many other applications. In this work, we…
Using Neural Networks to Model Hysteretic Kinematics in Tendon-Actuated Continuum Robots
Yuan Wang, Max McCandless, Abdulhamit Donder +4
The ability to accurately model mechanical hysteretic behavior in tendon-actuated continuum robots using deep learning approaches is a growing area of interest. In this paper, we i…
Hybrid Tendon and Ball Chain Continuum Robots for Enhanced Dexterity in Medical Interventions
Giovanni Pittiglio, Margherita Mencattelli, Abdulhamit Donder +2
A hybrid continuum robot design is introduced that combines a proximal tendon-actuated section with a distal telescoping section comprised of permanent-magnet spheres actuated usin…
