Measurement of the Tip and Friction Force Acting on a Needle during Penetration
We present the tip and friction forces acting on a needle during penetration into a canine prostate, independently measured by a 7-axis load cell newly developed for this purpose. ...

Fast needle insertion to minimize tissue deformation and damage
Abstract-- During needle-based procedures, transitions between tissue layers often involve puncture events that produce substantial deformation and tend to drive the needle off cou...

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...
