Design of Magnetic Continuum Robots with Tunable Force Response Using Rotational Ring Pairs
Alex Sayres, Giovanni Pittiglio
In this paper, we discuss a novel continuum robot design that enables the online tuning of the magnetic response at its tip. The proposed method allows for the change of both effec…
An Anatomy-specific Guidewire Shaping Robot for Improved Vascular Navigation
Aabha Tamhankar, Jay Patil, Giovanni Pittiglio
Neuroendovascular access often relies on passive microwires that are hand-shaped at the back table and then used to track a microcatheter to the target. Neuroendovascular surgeons…
Contact-aware Path Planning for Autonomous Neuroendovascular Navigation
Aabha Tamhankar, Ron Alterovitz, Ajit S. Puri +1
We propose a deterministic and time-efficient contact-aware path planner for neurovascular navigation. The algorithm leverages information from pre- and intra-operative images of t…
