— One of the potential benefits of robotic systems in cardiac surgery is that their use can increase the number of possible off-pump (beating heart) coronary artery bypass graft...
— In order to perform coronary artery bypass graft surgery, a stationary heart is necessary. A human cannot achieve manual tracking of the complex heartbeat motion. Robotics tech...

— Beating heart procedures promise significant health benefits to patients but the fast motion of the heart poses a serious challenge to the surgeon. Robotic motion synchroniza...
Abstract— A novel heart surface motion estimation framework for a robotic surgery on a stabilized beating heart is proposed. It includes an approach for the reconstruction and pr...
