See, Plan, Cut: MPC-Based Autonomous Volumetric Robotic Laser Surgery with OCT Guidance
Ravi Prakash, Vincent Y. Wang, Arpit Mishra +5
Robotic laser systems offer the potential for sub-millimeter, non-contact, high-precision tissue resection, yet existing platforms lack volumetric planning and intraoperative feedb…
TumorMap: A Laser-based Surgical Platform for 3D Tumor Mapping and Fully-Automated Tumor Resection
Guangshen Ma, Ravi Prakash, Beatrice Schleupner +10
Surgical resection of malignant solid tumors is critically dependent on the surgeon's ability to accurately identify pathological tissue and remove the tumor while preserving surro…
A Comprehensive General Model of Tendon-Actuated Concentric Tube Robots with Multiple Tubes and Tendons
Pejman Kheradmand, Behnam Moradkhani, Raghavasimhan Sankaranarayanan +5
Tendon-actuated concentric tube mechanisms combine the advantages of tendon-driven continuum robots and concentric tube robots while addressing their respective limitations. They o…
Tendon-Actuated Concentric Tube Endonasal Robot (TACTER)
Kent K. Yamamoto, Tanner J. Zachem, Pejman Kheradmand +6
Endoscopic endonasal approaches (EEA) have become more prevalent for minimally invasive skull base and sinus surgeries. However, rigid scopes and tools significantly decrease the s…
Sampling-Based Model Predictive Control for Volumetric Ablation in Robotic Laser Surgery
Vincent Y. Wang, Ravi Prakash, Siobhan R. Oca +3
Laser-based surgical ablation relies heavily on surgeon involvement, restricting precision to the limits of human error. The interaction between laser and tissue is governed by var…
