Researchers have adopted mechanistic and learning-based approaches for tip force estimation on soft robotic catheters. Typically the literature attributes the mech-anistic methods with more accuracy while indicating the learning-based methods outpace...
A major challenge during autonomous navigation in endovascular interventions is the complexity of operating in a deformable but constrained workspace with an instrument. Simulation of deformations for it can provide a cost-effective training platform...
Delayed surgical reconstruction of iatrogenic ureteral injuries is often a challenging procedure because spreading scar tissue impedes accurate identification and dissection of the injured ureter. We report a novel real-time navigation system using a...

In the era of data-driven machine learning algorithms, data is the new oil. For the most optimal results, datasets should be large, heterogeneous and, crucially, correctly labeled. However, data collection and labeling are time-consuming and labor-in...

PURPOSE: During minimally invasive surgery, surgeons maneuver tools through complex anatomies, which is difficult without the ability to control the position of the tools inside the body. A potential solution for a substantial portion of these proced...

PURPOSE: The use of robotics is emerging for performing interventional radiology procedures. Robots in interventional radiology are typically controlled using button presses and joystick movements. This study identified how different human-robot inte...
In minimally invasive endovascular procedures, surgeons rely on catheters with low dexterity and high aspect ratios to reach an anatomical target. However, the environment inside the beating heart presents a combination of challenges unique to few an...
Conventional catheter- or probe-based in vivo biomedical sensing is uncomfortable, inconvenient, and sometimes infeasible for long-term monitoring. Existing implantable sensors often require an invasive procedure for sensor placement. Untethered soft...
BACKGROUND: Visual perception of catheters and guidewires on x-ray fluoroscopy is essential for neurointervention. Endovascular robots with teleoperation capabilities are being developed, but they cannot 'see' intravascular devices, which precludes a...
