Developing a novel force forecasting technique for early prediction of critical events in robotics.

PloS one
Safety critical events in robotic applications can often be characterized by forces between the robot end-effector and the environment. One application in which safe interaction between the robot and environment is critical is in the area of medical ...

CIGuide: in situ augmented reality laser guidance.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSEĀ : A robotic intraoperative laser guidance system with hybrid optic-magnetic tracking for skull base surgery is presented. It provides in situ augmented reality guidance for microscopic interventions at the lateral skull base with minimal ment...

Design and control of a MRI-compatible pneumatic needle puncture robot.

Computer assisted surgery (Abingdon, England)
Percutaneous needle puncture operation is widely used in the image-guided interventions, including biopsy and ablation. MRI guidance has the advantages of high-resolution soft tissue imaging and thermal monitoring during energy-based ablation. This p...

Real-time surgical needle detection using region-based convolutional neural networks.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
OBJECTIVE: Conventional surgical assistance and skill analysis for suturing mostly focus on the motions of the tools. As the quality of the suturing is determined by needle motions relative to the tissues, having knowledge of the needle motion would ...

Spatio-temporal deep learning models for tip force estimation during needle insertion.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Precise placement of needles is a challenge in a number of clinical applications such as brachytherapy or biopsy. Forces acting at the needle cause tissue deformation and needle deflection which in turn may lead to misplacement or injury. He...

Classification of needle-EMG resting potentials by machine learning.

Muscle & nerve
INTRODUCTION: The diagnostic importance of audio signal characteristics in needle electromyography (EMG) is well established. Given the recent advent of audio-sound identification by artificial intelligence, we hypothesized that the extraction of cha...

Investigating a Needle-Based Epidural Procedure in Obstetric Anesthesia.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
This study investigates the safety and efficacy of a large-dose, needle-based epidural technique in obstetric anesthesia. The technique differs from a standard, catheter-based approach in that the anesthetic dose is administered through an epidural n...

Robotically Assisted CBCT-Guided Needle Insertions: Preliminary Results in a Phantom Model.

Cardiovascular and interventional radiology
AIM: To compare robotic-assisted needle insertions performed under CBCT guidance to standard manual needle insertions.
