Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) constrains instrument motions to 4 DOF by precluding lateral motion at the incision. Robotic MIS systems can interpose arbitrary mappings between ...
We are developing virtual fixtures for the internal mammary artery (IMA) harvest portion of robot-assisted coronary artery bypass graft procedures. A preoperative CT scan will be p...
In this paper a system was developed for robot behavior acquisition using kinesthetic demonstrations. It enables a humanoid robot to imitate constrained reaching gestures directed...
A computer-based algorithm is being developed which, using preoperative images, provides the surgeon with a list of feasible port triplets ranked according to tool dexterity and en...
