Clinically oriented real-time monitoring of the individual's risk for deep tissue injury
Spinal cord injury patients are under daily risk for developing deep tissue injury which is a severe pressure ulcer that initiates in soft tissues at the bones’ proximity. We aim...

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...

Mechanics of Flexible Needles Robotically Steered through Soft Tissue
The tip asymmetry of a bevel-tip needle results in the needle naturally bending when it is inserted into soft tissue. This enables robotic needle steering, which can be used in me...
