Toward Robotically Automated Femoral Vascular Access
Nico Zevallos, Evan Harber, Abhimanyu +9
Advanced resuscitative technologies, such as Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) cannulation or Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA), are techn…
MaskNet: A Fully-Convolutional Network to Estimate Inlier Points
Vinit Sarode, Animesh Dhagat, Rangaprasad Arun Srivatsan +3
Point clouds have grown in importance in the way computers perceive the world. From LIDAR sensors in autonomous cars and drones to the time of flight and stereo vision systems in o…
A surgical system for automatic registration, stiffness mapping and dynamic image overlay
Nicolas Zevallos, Rangaprasad Arun Srivatsan, Hadi Salman +6
In this paper we develop a surgical system using the da Vinci research kit (dVRK) that is capable of autonomously searching for tumors and dynamically displaying the tumor location…
Trajectory-Optimized Sensing for Active Search of Tissue Abnormalities in Robotic Surgery
Hadi Salman, Elif Ayvali, Rangaprasad Arun Srivatsan +6
In this work, we develop an approach for guiding robots to automatically localize and find the shapes of tumors and other stiff inclusions present in the anatomy. Our approach uses…
