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…
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…
Helical Tendon-Driven Continuum Robot with Programmable Follow-the-Leader Operation
Behnam Moradkhani, Raghav Sankaranarayanan, Pejman Kheradmand +4
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is widely used for pain management and has recently shown promise in promoting functional recovery following spinal cord injury. Effective activation…
The OncoReach Stylet for Brachytherapy: Design Evaluation and Pilot Study
Pejman Kheradmand, Kent K. Yamamoto, Emma Webster +9
Cervical cancer accounts for a significant portion of the global cancer burden among women. Interstitial brachytherapy (ISBT) is a standard procedure for treating cervical cancer;…
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…
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…
An FBG-based Stiffness Estimation Sensor for In-vivo Diagnostics
Behnam Moradkhani, Pejman Kheradmand, Harshith Jella +4
In-vivo tissue stiffness identification can be useful in pulmonary fibrosis diagnostics and minimally invasive tumor identification, among many other applications. In this work, we…
