Towards a Novel Wearable Robotic Vest for Hemorrhage Suppression
Harshith Jella, Pejman Kheradmand, Joseph Klein +2
This paper introduces a novel robotic system designed to manage severe bleeding in emergency scenarios, including unique environments like space stations. The robot features a shap…
Bilinear Model Predictive Control Framework of the OncoReach, a Tendon-Driven Steerable Stylet for Brachytherapy
Pejman Kheradmand, Behnam Moradkhani, Mir Masoud Ale Ali +3
Steerable needles have the potential to improve interstitial brachytherapy by enabling curved trajectories that avoid sensitive anatomical structures. However, existing modeling an…
Helical Tendon-Driven Continuum Robot with Programmable Follow-the-Leader Operation
Behnam Moradkhani, Raghav Sankaranarayanan, Pejman Kheradmand +4
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is primarily utilized for pain management and has recently demonstrated efficacy in promoting functional recovery in patients with spinal cord injury.…
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…
ExoNav II: Design of a Robotic Tool with Follow-the-Leader Motion Capability for Lateral and Ventral Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS)
Behnam Moradkhani, Pejman Kheradmand, Harshith Jella +3
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) electrodes are traditionally placed in the dorsal epidural space to stimulate the dorsal column fibers for pain therapy. Recently, SCS has gained atte…
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…
