Overcoming the Force Limitations of Magnetic Robotic Surgery: Impact-based Tetherless Suturing
Onder Erin, Xiaolong Liu, Jiawei Ge +4
Magnetic robotics obviate the physical connections between the actuators and end effectors resulting in ultra-minimally invasive surgeries. Even though such a wireless actuation me…
Localization and Control of Magnetic Suture Needles in Cluttered Surgical Site with Blood and Tissue
Will Pryor, Yotam Barnoy, Suraj Raval +7
Real-time visual localization of needles is necessary for various surgical applications, including surgical automation and visual feedback. In this study we investigate localizatio…
Robotic Surgery With Lean Reinforcement Learning
Yotam Barnoy, Molly O'Brien, Will Wang +1
As surgical robots become more common, automating away some of the burden of complex direct human operation becomes ever more feasible. Model-free reinforcement learning (RL) is a…
Visual Robot Task Planning
Chris Paxton, Yotam Barnoy, Kapil Katyal +2
Prospection, the act of predicting the consequences of many possible futures, is intrinsic to human planning and action, and may even be at the root of consciousness. Surprisingly,…
