Modular Robotic Catheters for Endovascular Aneurysm Repair
Alex Ranne, Jinshi Zhao, Ali Anil Demircali +5
The paper introduces a two‑segment, 4‑DOF steerable catheter with a modular tendon‑driven actuation platform, fabricated using thermal fiber drawing and laser micro‑machining, and…
A Mapping Sheath with Thermally Drawn Multi-Electrode Basket for Cardiac Electrophysiological Recording and Ablation Catheter Delivery
Qindong Zheng, Anil Demircali, Jinshi Zhao +14
Cardiac arrhythmias, particularly atrial fibrillation, represent a major cardiovascular health burden and underscore the need for efficient and integrated strategies for electrical…
Model selection and real-time skill assessment for suturing in robotic surgery
Zhaoyang Jacopo Hu, Alex Ranne, Alaa Eldin Abdelaal +4
Automated feedback systems have the potential to provide objective skill assessment for training and evaluation in robot-assisted surgery. In this study, we examine methods to achi…
Thermally Drawn Bioelectric Catheters: Enabling Proprioceptive Endovascular Navigation
Alex Ranne, Heiko Maier, Jinshi Zhao +6
To navigate medical instruments safely and accurately inside a patient's vascular tree, combining X-ray fluoroscopy with intermittent contrast injections is the gold standard. Howe…
Identifying visible tissue in intraoperative ultrasound: a method and application
Alistair Weld, Luke Dixon, Giulio Anichini +4
Purpose: Intraoperative ultrasound scanning is a demanding visuotactile task. It requires operators to simultaneously localise the ultrasound perspective and manually perform sligh…
Malleable Robots
Angus B. Clark, Xinran Wang, Alex Ranne +1
This chapter is about the fundamentals of fabrication, control, and human-robot interaction of a new type of collaborative robotic manipulators, called malleable robots, which are…
