RCM Constraint-Consistent Dynamic Control in Surgical Robots
Yu Li, Hamid Sadeghian, Zewen Yang +2
Robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RAMIS) requires accurate enforcement of the remote center of motion (RCM) constraint to ensure safe tool motion through a trocar. Exist…
Learning a Shape-adaptive Assist-as-needed Rehabilitation Policy from Therapist-informed Input
Zhimin Hou, Jiacheng Hou, Xiao Chen +3
Therapist-in-the-loop robotic rehabilitation has shown great promise in enhancing rehabilitation outcomes by integrating the strengths of therapists and robotic systems. However, i…
Streaming Generated Gaussian Process Experts for Online Learning and Control: Extended Version
Zewen Yang, Dongfa Zhang, Xiaobing Dai +5
Gaussian Processes (GPs), as a nonparametric learning method, offer flexible modeling capabilities and calibrated uncertainty quantification for function approximations. Additional…
SafeFlow: Safe Robot Motion Planning with Flow Matching via Control Barrier Functions
Xiaobing Dai, Zewen Yang, Dian Yu +4
Recent advances in generative modeling have led to promising results in robot motion planning, particularly through diffusion and flow matching (FM)-based models that capture compl…
