— 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...
– We have developed a prototype teleoperated robotic surgical system which is modular, compact and easy to use. In this paper, the control software design of the prototype is int...
— This paper presents an approach to implement virtual fixtures for surgical robot assistants. Our approach uses a weighted, multi-objective (both linear and nonlinear) constrai...
Continuum robots, which are composed of multiple concentric, precurved elastic tubes, can provide dexterity at diameters equivalent to standard surgical needles. Recent mechanicsba...
