Randomized model predictive control for robot navigation
— We suggest a new navigation approach to mobile robots, within a nonlinear model predictive control framework where a navigation function is used as a control Lyapunov function....

Planning for Steerable Bevel-tip Needle Insertion Through 2D Soft Tissue with Obstacles
— We explore motion planning for a new class of highly flexible bevel-tip medical needles that can be steered to previously unreachable targets in soft tissue. Planning for thes...

A constrained optimization approach to virtual fixtures for multi-handed tasks
— 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...
