Interactive-Rate Supervisory Control for Arbitrarily-Routed Multi-Tendon Robots via Motion Planning
Michael Bentley, Caleb Rucker, Alan Kuntz
Tendon-driven robots, where one or more tendons under tension bend and manipulate a flexible backbone, can improve minimally invasive surgeries involving difficult-to-reach regions…
Toward Learning Context-Dependent Tasks from Demonstration for Tendon-Driven Surgical Robots
Yixuan Huang, Michael Bentley, Tucker Hermans +1
Tendon-driven robots, a type of continuum robot, have the potential to reduce the invasiveness of surgery by enabling access to difficult-to-reach anatomical targets. In the future…
Safer Motion Planning of Steerable Needles via a Shaft-to-Tissue Force Model
Michael Bentley, Caleb Rucker, Chakravarthy Reddy +2
Steerable needles are capable of accurately targeting difficult-to-reach clinical sites in the body. By bending around sensitive anatomical structures, steerable needles have the p…
