Robotic breast ultrasound (RBUS) aims to standardize breast ultrasonography, reduce the workload of sonographers, and provide high-quality ultrasound (US) images for subsequent diagnosis. In the process of RBUS screening, adjusting the US probe correctly and efficiently to acquire high-quality US im
Percutaneous puncture is a widely used procedure in the diagnosis and therapy of cancer such as biopsy and ablation operations, while the organs in the thoracic and abdominal cavities are significantly affected by patients' respiratory movement. In this study, a robotic puncture system with respirat
Autonomous ultrasound scanning robots have attracted the attention of researchers, and the real-time quality assessment of ultrasound images is the key technology of them. Existing robot systems usually use pixel-level feature statistical methods such as grayscale, confidence map, etc. However, in c
In endoscopic nasal surgery, robots, rather than surgical assistants, can be introduced to hold endoscopes and act as the surgeon's third hand, which helps to reduce their operation burden. To address the problem of robot-assisted surgical field of view (FOV) acquisition in endoscopic nasal surgery,
Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) has received significant attentions due to its minimal incision trauma compared with traditional multi-port robot assisted surgery. Continuum robot can be used in NOTES due to its high flexibility which can adapt to circuitous paths. However, t
