Background
Neonate patients have a reduced thoracic cavity, making thoracoscopic procedures even more challenging than their adult counterparts.
Methods
We evaluated five control strategies for robot‐assisted thoracoscopic surgical looping in simulations and experiments with a physical robotic system in a neonate surgical phantom. The strategies are composed of state‐of‐the‐art constrained optimization...
Background: With the increasing presence of surgical robots minimally invasive surgery, there is a growing necessity of a versatile surgical system for deep and narrow workspaces.
Methods: We developed a versatile system for constrained workspaces called SmartArm. It has two industrial‐type robotic arms with flexible tools attached to its distal tip, with a total of nine active degrees‐of‐freedom...
Background
Integrating simulators with robotic surgical procedures could assist in designing and testing of novel robotic control algorithms and further enhance patient‐specific pre‐operative planning and training for robotic surgeries.
Methods
A virtual reality simulator, developed to perform the transsphenoidal resection of pituitary gland tumours, tested the usability of robotic interfaces and...
