Planning fireworks trajectories for steerable medical needles to reduce patient trauma
— Accurate needle insertion in 3D environment is always a grand challenge. When multiple targets are located in the tissue, a procedure of inserting multiple needles from a singl...

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...

The Effect of Visual and Haptic Feedback on Manual and Teleoperated Needle Insertion
In this paper, we present a study that evaluates the effect of visual and haptic feedbacks and their relevance to human performance in a needle insertion task. A virtual needle ins...

Guidance of a steerable cannula robot in soft tissue using preoperative imaging and conoscopic surface contour sensing
— Intraoperative surface contour sensing can enable the registration of high-resolution three-dimensional preoperative images for precise guidance of surgical robots. This is par...

Task-induced symmetry and reduction in kinematic systems with application to needle steering
— Lie group symmetry in a mechanical system can lead to a dimensional reduction in its dynamical equations. Typically, the symmetries that one exploits are intrinsic to the mecha...
