EndoNav: Semantic-to-Geometric Grounding for Language-Guided Robotic Endoscopic Examination
Jecia Z. Y. Mao, Hisashi Ishida, Kathryn Jung +3
Minimally invasive procedures performed within confined anatomical spaces depend on continuous endoscopic visualization. Current robotic endoscope systems can stabilize or repositi…
Speak, Segment, Track, Navigate: An Interactive System for Video-Guided Skull-Base Surgery
Jecia Z. Y. Mao, Francis X. Creighton, Russell H. Taylor +1
We introduce a speech-guided embodied agent framework for video-guided skull base surgery that dynamically executes perception and image-guidance tasks in response to surgeon queri…
SCOPE: Speech-guided COllaborative PErception Framework for Surgical Scene Segmentation
Jecia Z. Y. Mao, Francis X Creighton, Russell H Taylor +1
Accurate segmentation and tracking of relevant elements of the surgical scene is crucial to enable context-aware intraoperative assistance and decision making. Current solutions re…
Beyond the Manual Touch: Situational-aware Force Control for Increased Safety in Robot-assisted Skullbase Surgery
Hisashi Ishida, Deepa Galaiya, Nimesh Nagururu +4
Purpose - Skullbase surgery demands exceptional precision when removing bone in the lateral skull base. Robotic assistance can alleviate the effect of human sensory-motor limitatio…
Integrating 3D Slicer with a Dynamic Simulator for Situational Aware Robotic Interventions
Manish Sahu, Hisashi Ishida, Laura Connolly +6
Image-guided robotic interventions represent a transformative frontier in surgery, blending advanced imaging and robotics for improved precision and outcomes. This paper addresses…
Haptic-Assisted Collaborative Robot Framework for Improved Situational Awareness in Skull Base Surgery
Hisashi Ishida, Manish Sahu, Adnan Munawar +5
Skull base surgery is a demanding field in which surgeons operate in and around the skull while avoiding critical anatomical structures including nerves and vasculature. While imag…
