Touching the tumor boundary: A pilot study on ultrasound based virtual fixtures for breast-conserving surgery
Laura Connolly, Tamas Ungi, Adnan Munawar +5
Purpose: Delineating tumor boundaries during breast-conserving surgery is challenging as tumors are often highly mobile, non-palpable, and have irregularly shaped borders. To addre…
SlicerROS2: A Research and Development Module for Image-Guided Robotic Interventions
Laura Connolly, Aravind S. Kumar, Kapi Ketan Mehta +9
Image-guided robotic interventions involve the use of medical imaging in tandem with robotics. SlicerROS2 is a software module that combines 3D Slicer and robot operating system (R…
Open-Source Multi-Viewpoint Surgical Telerobotics
Guido Caccianiga, Yarden Sharon, Bernard Javot +6
As robots for minimally invasive surgery (MIS) gradually become more accessible and modular, we believe there is a great opportunity to rethink and expand the visualization and con…
Gravity Compensation of the dVRK-Si Patient Side Manipulator based on Dynamic Model Identification
Haoying Zhou, Hao Yang, Anton Deguet +3
The da Vinci Research Kit (dVRK, also known as dVRK Classic) is an open-source teleoperated surgical robotic system whose hardware is obtained from the first generation da Vinci Su…
An Effectiveness Study Across Baseline and Learning-based Force Estimation Methods on the da Vinci Research Kit Si System
Hao Yang, Ayberk Acar, Keshuai Xu +3
Robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery, such as through the da Vinci systems, improves precision and patient outcomes. However, da Vinci systems prior to da Vinci 5, lacked dire…
