Safe Start Regions for Medical Steerable Needle Automation
Janine Hoelscher, Inbar Fried, Spiros Tsalikis +3
Steerable needles are minimally invasive devices that enable novel medical procedures by following curved paths to avoid critical anatomical obstacles. Planning algorithms can be u…
A Dataset of Anatomical Environments for Medical Robots: Modeling Respiratory Deformation
Inbar Fried, Janine Hoelscher, Jason A. Akulian +1
Anatomical models of a medical robot's environment can significantly help guide design and development of a new robotic system. These models can be used for benchmarking motion pla…
Interleaving Optimization with Sampling-Based Motion Planning (IOS-MP): Combining Local Optimization with Global Exploration
Alan Kuntz, Chris Bowen, Ron Alterovitz
Computing globally optimal motion plans for a robot is challenging in part because it requires analyzing a robot's configuration space simultaneously from both a macroscopic viewpo…
