Brain-computer interface (BCI) controlled wheelchair robots can serve as powerful aids for severely disabled people in their daily life, especially to help them move voluntarily. In order to better understand human “thought”, owing to the development of the hybrid brain/muscle interface technique, in this paper, we present a real-time hybrid brain/muscle interface to control a wheelchair directly...
As we know that MIS permits vascular interventions through very small incisions and minimizes the patients' trauma and permits a faster recovery compared. In this document, we present the mechanical and haptic simulation of the MIS VR operation training system. Virtual reality technology for doctors can improve the accuracy and safety of real vascular interventional surgery for vascular interventional...
In this paper, we propose a novel approach based on online learning for accurate and effective detection of abandoned objects. Most existing methods for abandoned objects detection only detect abandoned objects without considering of the logic owner of the abandoned object. These methods need an advanced trained human detector to discriminate abandoned objects from still persons frequently. However,...
Pose estimation of object is one of the key problems for the automatic-grasping task of robotics. In this paper, we present a new vision-based robotic grasping system, which can not only recognize different objects but also estimate their poses by using a deep learning model, finally grasp them and move to a predefined destination. The deep learning model demonstrates strong power in learning hierarchical...
Neurological examinations are among the most important clinical skills to identify disorders in the neurological system at early stages. Training on neurological examination for inexperienced doctors plays an important role in improving accuracy of diagnosis. Such training programs have been conducted until now using physical simulators or simulated patients (SPs). However, conventional simulators...
The visualization of the coronary vasculature is of utmost importance in interventional cardiology. Intravascular surgical robots assist the practitioners to perform the complex procedure while protecting them from the tremendous occupational hazards. Robotic surgical simulation aims to provide support for the learners in both efficiency and convenience. The blood vessels especially the coronary arteries...
Generally, surgeons of minimally invasive surgery should possess good ability to coordinate their both hands. The manipulation of guide wire is considered a core skill. Obtaining that core skill to perform minimally invasive surgery requires training. In minimally invasive surgery, a surgical robot can assist doctors to position precisely and provide stable operation platform. Therefore, to develop...
We propose a new unified rendering interface — SenseViewer — that allows users to annotate and label visual, auditory and in particular haptic cues to medical images. This new interface may support pre-operation planning, surgical training and medical robot guidance better. Users can touch and feel virtual organs and tissues with haptics. The visual and auditory cues are helpful to define optimal...
The handling of twist-locks has been a heavy burden for the container industry. There have been many efforts in developing automated twist-lock handling solutions. To address this challenge, we are developing a customized mobile manipulator for twist-lock pose estimation and grasping. In this paper, we propose a 3D object recognition approach using Kernel Principal Component Analysis (KPCA) only based...
