Bi-manual Stabilization of the Cervical Spine for Safe Physical Human-Robot Interaction in Rolling Maneuvers
Elizabeth Peiros, Moira Bohley, Lucas Yager +6
The neck, specifically the cervical spine, is a highly fragile and mobile part of the body with a high risk of catastrophic injury. Whether someone is injured on a battlefield, in…
SurgFlow: 3D Object-Centric Contact Flow for Surgical Robot Manipulation
Changwei Chen, Xiao Liang, Yinuo Yang +6
Paired video-action demonstrations enable autonomous surgical behavior, but such data is scarce: robots perform roughly 1% of surgeries, while video-only data is abundant. Learning…
Towards Autonomous Tape Handling for Robotic Wound Redressing
Xiao Liang, Lu Shen, Peihan Zhang +3
Chronic wounds, such as diabetic, pressure, and venous ulcers, affect over 6.5 million patients in the United States alone and generate an annual cost exceeding $25 billion. Despi…
Efficient Surgical Robotic Instrument Pose Reconstruction in Real World Conditions Using Unified Feature Detection
Zekai Liang, Kazuya Miyata, Xiao Liang +2
Accurate camera-to-robot calibration is essential for any vision-based robotic control system and especially critical in minimally invasive surgical robots, where instruments condu…
Feedback Matters: Augmenting Autonomous Dissection with Visual and Topological Feedback
Chung-Pang Wang, Changwei Chen, Xiao Liang +3
Autonomous surgical systems must adapt to highly dynamic environments where tissue properties and visual cues evolve rapidly. Central to such adaptability is feedback: the ability…
LapSurgie: Humanoid Robots Performing Surgery via Teleoperated Handheld Laparoscopy
Zekai Liang, Xiao Liang, Soofiyan Atar +7
Robotic laparoscopic surgery has gained increasing attention in recent years for its potential to deliver more efficient and precise minimally invasive procedures. However, adoptio…
Humanoids in Hospitals: A Technical Study of Humanoid Robot Surrogates for Dexterous Medical Interventions
Soofiyan Atar, Xiao Liang, Calvin Joyce +5
The increasing demand for healthcare workers, driven by aging populations and labor shortages, presents a significant challenge for hospitals. Humanoid robots have the potential to…
MEDiC: Autonomous Surgical Robotic Assistance to Maximizing Exposure for Dissection and Cautery
Xiao Liang, Chung-Pang Wang, Nikhil Uday Shinde +3
Surgical automation has the capability to improve the consistency of patient outcomes and broaden access to advanced surgical care in underprivileged communities. Shared autonomy,…
AutoPeel: Adhesion-aware Safe Peeling Trajectory Optimization for Robotic Wound Care
Xiao Liang, Youcheng Zhang, Fei Liu +2
Chronic wounds, including diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers, and ulcers secondary to venous hypertension, affects more than 6.5 million patients and a yearly cost of more than $25 b…
JIGGLE: An Active Sensing Framework for Boundary Parameters Estimation in Deformable Surgical Environments
Nikhil Uday Shinde, Xiao Liang, Fei Liu +4
Surgical automation can improve the accessibility and consistency of life saving procedures. Most surgeries require separating layers of tissue to access the surgical site, and sut…
Investigating Low Data, Confidence Aware Image Prediction on Smooth Repetitive Videos using Gaussian Processes
Nikhil U. Shinde, Xiao Liang, Florian Richter +1
The ability to predict future states is crucial to informed decision-making while interacting with dynamic environments. With cameras providing a prevalent and information-rich sen…
