A constrained optimization approach to virtual fixtures for multi-handed tasks
— In this work, we have extended the concept of constrained motion control of robots to surgical tasks that require multiple robots. We present virtual fixtures to guide the mot...

Spatial Motion Constraints for Robot Assisted Suturing Using Virtual Fixtures
We address the problem of the stitching task in endoscopic surgery using a circular needle under robotic assistance. Our main focus is to present an algorithm for suturing using gu...

Constrained Control for Surgical Assistant Robots
— This paper presents an approach to implement virtual fixtures for surgical robot assistants. Our approach uses a weighted, multi-objective (both linear and nonlinear) constrai...
