Path Planning for Variable Resolution Minimal-Energy Curves of Constant Length
— We present a new approach to path planning for flexible wires. We introduce a method for computing stable configurations of a wire subject to manipulation constraints. These ...

Real-Time Visual Tracking of the Surgeon's Face for Laparoscopic Surgery
We have developed an image-based human-machine interface that tracks the surgeon’s face robustly in real-time(30Hz) and does not require to use any body-contacted sensing devices...
