— 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...
— 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...
— Robotics technology promises an enhanced way of performing off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. In the robotic-assisted CABG surgery, surgeon performs the oper...
– 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 ...
In the future, robotic surgical assistants may assist surgeons by performing specific subtasks such as retraction and suturing to reduce surgeon tedium and reduce the duration of s...
