Design Considerations for Robotic Needle Steering
— Many medical procedures involve the use of needles, but targeting accuracy can be limited due to obstacles in the needle’s path, shifts in target position caused by tissue de...

A Geometrically Exact Model for Externally Loaded Concentric-Tube Continuum Robots
Continuum robots, which are composed of multiple concentric, precurved elastic tubes, can provide dexterity at diameters equivalent to standard surgical needles. Recent mechanicsba...

A fast method to simulate virtual deformable objects with force feedback
In this paper, we propose solutions to real time simulation and interaction of deformable objects in virtual reality. Firstly, we present LEM - Long Element Method, a method creat...

Deformable Volumes in Path Planning Applications
This paper addresses the problem of path planning for a class of deformable volumes under fairly general manipulation constraints. The underlying geometric model for the volume is...

Real Time Simulation of Multizone Elastokinematic Models
— We introduce precomputed multizone elastokinematic models for interactive simulation of multibody kinematic systems which include elastostatic deformations. This enables an eï¬...
