Neelay Joglekar, Fei Liu, Florian Richter +1
Remote Center of Motion (RCM) robotic manipulators have revolutionized Minimally Invasive Surgery, enabling precise, dexterous surgical manipulation within the patient's body cavit…
MEDiC: Autonomous Surgical Robotic Assistance to Maximizing Exposure for Dissection and Cautery
Xiao Liang, Chung-Pang Wang, Nikhil Uday Shinde +3
Surgical automation has the capability to improve the consistency of patient outcomes and broaden access to advanced surgical care in underprivileged communities. Shared autonomy,…
AutoPeel: Adhesion-aware Safe Peeling Trajectory Optimization for Robotic Wound Care
Xiao Liang, Youcheng Zhang, Fei Liu +2
Chronic wounds, including diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers, and ulcers secondary to venous hypertension, affects more than 6.5 million patients and a yearly cost of more than $25 b…
Autonomous Image-to-Grasp Robotic Suturing Using Reliability-Driven Suture Thread Reconstruction
Neelay Joglekar, Fei Liu, Florian Richter +1
Automating suturing during robotically-assisted surgery reduces the burden on the operating surgeon, enabling them to focus on making higher-level decisions rather than fatiguing t…
JIGGLE: An Active Sensing Framework for Boundary Parameters Estimation in Deformable Surgical Environments
Nikhil Uday Shinde, Xiao Liang, Fei Liu +4
Surgical automation can improve the accessibility and consistency of life saving procedures. Most surgeries require separating layers of tissue to access the surgical site, and sut…
