Simultaneous Burr and Cut Interruption Detection during Laser Cutting with Neural Networks.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In this contribution, we compare basic neural networks with convolutional neural networks for cut failure classification during fiber laser cutting. The experiments are performed by cutting thin electrical sheets with a 500 W single-mode fiber laser ...

Development and validation of the metric-based assessment of a robotic vessel dissection, vessel loop positioning, clip applying and bipolar coagulation task on an avian model.

Journal of robotic surgery
The evolution of robotic technology and its diffusion does not seem to have been adequately accompanied by the development and implementation of surgeon training programs that ensure skilled and safe device use at the start of the learning curve. The...

Single assistant versus dual assistant robotic surgery for robot-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy using da Vinci Xi or X.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: To verify the usefulness of single assistant robotic surgery (SA-RS) using da Vinci Xi or X performed for total hysterectomy.

Research progress and development trend of surgical robot and surgical instrument arm.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: In recent years, surgical robots have become an indispensable part of the medical field. Surgical robots are increasingly being used in the areas of gynaecological surgery, urological surgery, orthopaedic surgery, general surgery and so f...

Video recognition of simple mastoidectomy using convolutional neural networks: Detection and segmentation of surgical tools and anatomical regions.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
A simple mastoidectomy is used to remove inflammation of the mastoid cavity and to create a route to the skull base and middle ear. However, due to the complexity and difficulty of the simple mastoidectomy, implementing robot vision for assisted surg...

Application of nano-carbon and titanium clip combined labeling in robot-assisted laparoscopic transverse colon cancer surgery.

BMC surgery
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted laparoscopic transverse colon tumor surgery requires precise tumor localization. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of nano-carbon and titanium clip combination labeling methods in robot-assis...

Enabling Autonomous Colonoscopy Intervention Using a Robotic Endoscope Platform.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Robotic endoscopes have the potential to dramatically improve endoscopy procedures, however current attempts remain limited due to mobility and sensing challenges and have yet to offer the full capabilities of traditional tools. Endoscopic...

Force-Free Control for Direct Teaching of a Surgical Assistant Robot End Effector with Wire-Driven Bidirectional Telescopic Mechanism.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
This paper shows the design and modeling of an end effector with a bidirectional telescopic mechanism to allow a surgical assistant robot to hold and handle surgical instruments. It also presents a force-free control algorithm for the direct teaching...

Image Compositing for Segmentation of Surgical Tools Without Manual Annotations.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Producing manual, pixel-accurate, image segmentation labels is tedious and time-consuming. This is often a rate-limiting factor when large amounts of labeled images are required, such as for training deep convolutional networks for instrument-backgro...

Automatic tip detection of surgical instruments in biportal endoscopic spine surgery.

Computers in biology and medicine
BACKGROUND: Recent advances in robotics and deep learning can be used in endoscopic surgeries and can provide numerous advantages by freeing one of the surgeon's hands. This study aims to automatically detect the tip of the instrument, localize a poi...
