Evaluating Control Modes for Constrained Robotic Surgery
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 ...

Tactile Tracking of Arteries in Robotic Surgery
Locating arteries hidden beneath superficial tissue can be a difficult task in minimally invasive surgery. This paper reports the development of a system that finds the paths of a...

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...

Optimize the obvious: Automatic call flow generation
In commercial spoken dialog systems, call flows are built by call flow designers implementing a predefined business logic. While it may appear obvious from this logic how the c...
