Selectively Actuated Fiberbots for High-precision Minimally Invasive Surgery
Jinshi Zhao, Libaihe Tian, Alex Ranne +9
Long, slender instruments are essential for minimally invasive surgery (MIS), but achieving precise distal manipulation becomes increasingly difficult when actuation extends along…
Forbidden Region Dynamic Active Constraints in Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery
Zejian Cui, Ferdinando Rodriguez y Baena
In robot-assisted surgery, Forbidden Region Active Constraints (FRAC) represent a control strategy that helps maintain task safety by generating anisotropic haptic guidance to surg…
Modular Robotic Catheters for Endovascular Aneurysm Repair
Alex Ranne, Jinshi Zhao, Ali Anil Demircali +5
Fenestrated/Branched endovascular aneurysm repair (FEVAR/BEVAR) require surgeons to navigate catheters and guidewires into various branches of the abdominal aorta, before deploying…
On-the-fly hand-eye calibration for the da Vinci surgical robot
Zejian Cui, Ferdinando Rodriguez y Baena
In Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery (RMIS), accurate tool localization is crucial to ensure patient safety and successful task execution. However, this remains challenging…
Caveats on the first-generation da Vinci Research Kit: latent technical constraints and essential calibrations
Zejian Cui, Joao Cartucho, Stamatia Giannarou +1
Telesurgical robotic systems provide a well established form of assistance in the operating theater, with evidence of growing uptake in recent years. Until now, the da Vinci surgic…
