Master-slave robotic system for needle indentation and insertion.

Computer assisted surgery (Abingdon, England)
Bilateral control of a master-slave robotic system is a challenging issue in robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery. It requires the knowledge on contact interaction between a surgical (slave) robot and soft tissues. This paper presents a master...

Scaling up liquid state machines to predict over address events from dynamic vision sensors.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Short-term visual prediction is important both in biology and robotics. It allows us to anticipate upcoming states of the environment and therefore plan more efficiently. In theoretical neuroscience, liquid state machines have been proposed as a biol...

Training Surgical Residents With a Haptic Robotic Central Venous Catheterization Simulator.

Journal of surgical education
OJECTIVE: Ultrasound guided central venous catheterization (CVC) is a common surgical procedure with complication rates ranging from 5 to 21 percent. Training is typically performed using manikins that do not simulate anatomical variations such as ob...

Planar maneuvering control of underwater snake robots using virtual holonomic constraints.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This paper investigates the problem of planar maneuvering control for bio-inspired underwater snake robots that are exposed to unknown ocean currents. The control objective is to make a neutrally buoyant snake robot which is subject to hydrodynamic f...

Da Vinci© Skills Simulator™: is an early selection of talented console surgeons possible?

Journal of robotic surgery
To investigate whether the learning curve of robotic surgery simulator training depends on the probands' characteristics, such as age and prior experience, we conducted a study of six distinct proband groups, using the da Vinci Skills Simulator: expe...

Comparison of Coopdech®, CoPilot®, Intubrite®, and Macintosh laryngoscopes for tracheal intubation during pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation: a randomized, controlled crossover simulation trial.

European journal of pediatrics
UNLABELLED: The aim of the study was to compare the intubation times and success rates of various laryngoscopes during resuscitation in pediatric emergency intubation with uninterrupted chest compression on a standardized pediatric manikin model. Thi...

Assessment of robotic patient simulators for training in manual physical therapy examination techniques.

PloS one
Robots that simulate patients suffering from joint resistance caused by biomechanical and neural impairments are used to aid the training of physical therapists in manual examination techniques. However, there are few methods for assessing such robot...

Conventional Laparoscopic vs Robotic Training: Which is Better for Naive Users? A Randomized Prospective Crossover Study.

Journal of surgical education
OBJECTIVE: Robotic training (RT) using the da Vinci skills simulator and conventional training (CT) using a laparoscopic "training box" are both used to augment operative skills in minimally invasive surgery. The current study tests the hypothesis th...

An effective repetitive training schedule to achieve skill proficiency using a novel robotic virtual reality simulator.

Journal of surgical education
PURPOSE: A robotic virtual reality simulator (Mimic dV-Trainer) can be a useful training method for the da Vinci surgical system. Herein, we investigate several repetitive training schedules and determine which is the most effective.

Artificial intelligence classifies surgical technical skills in simulated laparoscopy: a pilot study.

Surgical endoscopy
OBJECTIVE: To develop a computer algorithm for the automatic classification of basic surgical skills in laparoscopy. The ability to objectively assess the operative skills of trainees would be invaluable for the success of competency-based medical ed...
