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…
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…
Incident Angle Study for Designing an Endoscopic Tool for Intraoperative Brain Tumor Detection
Kent Y. Yamamoto, Tanner J. Zachem, Weston A. Ross +1
In neurosurgical procedures maximizing the resection of tumor tissue while avoiding healthy tissue is of paramount importance and a difficult task due to many factors, such as surr…
