Estimation of model parameters for steerable needles
Abstract— Flexible needles with bevel tips are being developed as useful tools for minimally invasive surgery and percutaneous therapy. When such a needle is inserted into soft t...

Motion Planning Under Uncertainty for Image-guided Medical Needle Steering
We develop a new motion planning algorithm for a variant of a Dubins car with binary left/right steering and apply it to steerable needles, a new class of flexible beveltip medica...

Torsional kinematic model for concentric tube robots
— A recent approach to steerable needle design is based on combining pre-curved tubes concentrically. By rotating and extending the tubes with respect to each other, the position...
