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...
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 ...
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...

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...
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...
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...
