Respiratory motion limits the accuracy and precision of abdominal percutaneous procedures. In this paper, respiratory motion is compensated robotically using motion estimation models. Additionally, a teleoperated insertion is performed using proximity-based haptic feedback to guide physicians during insertion, enabling a radiation-free remote insertion for the end-user. The study has been validated using a robotic liver phantom, and five insertions were performed. The resulting motion estimation errors were below 3 mm for all directions of motion, and the overall resulting 3D insertion errors were 2.60, 7.75, and 2.86 mm for the superior-inferior, lateral, and anterior-posterior directions of motion, respectively. The proposed approach is expected to minimize the chances of inaccurate treatment or diagnosis due to respiratory-induced motion and reduce radiation exposure.
