Vision-based intraoperative shape sensing of concentric tube robots

Alessandro Vandini, Christos Bergeles, Fang-Yu Lin, Guang-Zhong Yang

IROS 2015poster

Concentric tube robots have shown promise for minimally invasive surgical (MIS) tasks that require navigation via tortuous anatomical paths. Despite extensive research on their kinematic and dynamic modelling, however, inaccuracies and deformations of their shape due to unknown loads and collisions…
