Purpose: Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) and annuloplasty devices are increasingly used to treat mitral valve regurgitation, yet their mechanical effects and interactions remain poorly understood. This study aimed to establish an…
This research aims at developing path and motion planning algorithms for a tethered Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to visually assist a teleoperated primary robot in unstructured or confined environments. The emerging state of the practice…
Purpose: Delineating tumor boundaries during breast-conserving surgery is challenging as tumors are often highly mobile, non-palpable, and have irregularly shaped borders. To address these challenges, we introduce a cooperative robotic…
In recent years, edge computing has served as a paradigm that enables many future technologies like AI, Robotics, IoT, and high-speed wireless sensor networks (like 5G) by connecting cloud computing facilities and services to the end users.…
Resuscitative thoracotomy, a high-risk procedure involving open heart massage, serves as a last resort for life-threatening conditions like penetrating chest wounds, severe blunt trauma, or surgery-related cardiac arrest. However, its…
Dexterous manipulation is a critical aspect of human capability, enabling interaction with a wide variety of objects. Recent advancements in learning from human demonstrations and teleoperation have enabled progress for robots in such…
Intra-cardiac Echocardiography (ICE) is a powerful imaging modality for guiding electrophysiology and structural heart interventions. ICE provides real-time observation of anatomy, catheters, and emergent complications. However, this…
Purpose: Developing and testing a framework that integrates real-time catheter shape reconstruction, interactive simulations, and mixed reality visualization to enable accurate monitoring of catheter-vessel interactions during endovascular…
In the face of challenges encountered during femur fracture surgery, such as the high rates of malalignment and X-ray exposure to operating personnel, robot-assisted surgery has emerged as an alternative to conventional state-of-the-art…
In the context of telehealth, robotic approaches have proven a valuable solution to in-person visits in remote areas, with decreased costs for patients and infection risks. In particular, in ultrasonography, robots have the potential to…
Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT) is a common vascular disease with blood clots inside deep veins, which may block blood flow or even cause a life-threatening pulmonary embolism. A typical exam for DVT using ultrasound (US) imaging is by…
Remote Center of Motion (RCM) robotic manipulators have revolutionized Minimally Invasive Surgery, enabling precise, dexterous surgical manipulation within the patient's body cavity without disturbing the insertion point on the patient.…
Soft robotics holds tremendous potential for various applications, especially in unstructured environments such as search and rescue operations. However, the lack of autonomy and teleoperability, limited capabilities, absence of gait…
This work presents a teleoperated humanoid robot system that can imitate human motions, walk and turn. To capture human motions, a Microsoft Kinect Depth sensor is used. Unlike the cumbersome motion capture suits, the sensor makes the…
Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of global mortality, with minimally invasive treatment options offered through endovascular interventions. However, the precision and adaptability of current robotic systems for endovascular…
ReachBot, a proposed robotic platform, employs extendable booms as limbs for mobility in challenging environments, such as martian caves. When attached to the environment, ReachBot acts as a parallel robot, with reconfiguration driven by…
Laparoscope-holding robots can provide surgeons with a stable laparoscopic field of view (FOV) and reduce the burden on human assistants. To maintain an ideal intraoperative FOV, the robot must continuously adjust the laparoscope pose…
The main purpose of this research is to move the robotic arm (5DoF) in real-time, based on the surface Electromyography (sEMG) signals, as obtained from the wireless Myo gesture armband to distinguish seven hand movements. The sEMG signals…
Robot teleoperation gains great success in various situations, including chemical pollution rescue, disaster relief, and long-distance manipulation. In this article, we propose a virtual reality (VR) based robot teleoperation system to…
Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation has transformed treatment for tachyarrhythmias and has become first-line therapy for some tachycardias. The precise localization of the arrhythmogenic site and the positioning of the RF catheter over…
