Tendon-Actuated Galvanometer Robot (TAGR) Towards Minimally Invasive Hybrid Surgical Laser Steering

Kent K. Yamamoto, Behnam Moradkhani, Tanner J. Zachem, Patrick J. Codd, Yash Chitalia

RA-L 2026

Surgical lasers are becoming increasingly prevalent in minimally invasive procedures, as laser fibers are thin and flexible, allowing for precise targeting. The use of surgical lasers spans tissue manipulation, energy delivery (in laser interstitial thermal therapy), imaging (optical coherence tomog

Towards a Tendon-Assisted Magnetically Steered (TAMS) Robotic Stylet for Brachytherapy

Pejman Kheradmand, Behnam Moradkhani, Harshith Jella, Keith Sowards, Scott R. Silva, Yash Chitalia

RA-L 2024

Interstitial brachytherapy requires up to 20 straight needles to surround and irradiate deep-seated tumors, but may offer sub-optimal radiation dosage in cases of advanced cancers. A steerable stylet can be used to guide the needle within the tissue, improving procedure accuracy and reducing the num
