Reinforcement Learning for Follow-the-Leader Robotic Endoscopic Navigation via Synthetic Data
Sicong Gao, Chen Qian, Laurence Xian +3
Autonomous navigation is crucial for both medical and industrial endoscopic robots, enabling safe and efficient exploration of narrow tubular environments without continuous human…
JammingSnake: A follow-the-leader continuum robot with variable stiffness based on fiber jamming
Chen Qian, Tangyou Liu, Liao Wu
Follow-the-leader (FTL) motion is essential for continuum robots operating in fragile and confined environments. It allows the robot to exert minimal force on its surroundings, red…
Effects of fiber number and density on fiber jamming: Towards follow-the-leader deployment of a continuum robot
Chen Qian, Tangyou Liu, Liao Wu
Fiber jamming modules (FJMs) offer flexibility and quick stiffness variation, making them suitable for follow-the-leader (FTL) motions in continuum robots, which is ideal for minim…
A Low-Cost Teleoperable Surgical Robot with a Macro-Micro Structure and a Continuum Tip for Open-Source Research
Lachlan Scott, Tangyou Liu, Liao Wu
Surgical robotic systems equipped with microscale, high-dexterity manipulators have shown promising results in minimally invasive surgery (MIS). One barrier to the widespread adopt…
Automatic Tissue Traction Using Miniature Force-Sensing Forceps for Minimally Invasive Surgery
Tangyou Liu, Xiaoyi Wang, Jay Katupitiya +2
A common limitation of autonomous tissue manipulation in robotic minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is the absence of force sensing and control at the tool level. Recently, our team…
