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...
– Our recent work on robotic surgical assistant systems has led us to develop a method to generate spatial motion constraints associated with complex 3D geometry for controlling ...
– Virtual fixtures are virtual constraints that enhance human performance in motion tasks. They can either confine and/or guide a user’s motion. In this paper, we use a commerc...

— 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...
