Kinematic Design Optimization of a Parallel Surgical Robot to Maximize Anatomical Visibility via Motion Planning

Alan Kuntz, Chris Bowen, Cenk Baykal, Arthur W. Mahoney, Patrick L. Anderson, Fabien Maldonado +2

ICRA 2018poster

We introduce a method to optimize on a patient-specific basis the kinematic design of the Continuum Reconfigurable Incisionless Surgical Parallel (CRISP) robot, a needle-diameter medical robot based on a parallel structure that is capable of performing minimally invasive procedures. Our objective is…

Asymptotically Optimal Motion Planning for Tasks Using Learned Virtual Landmarks

Chris Bowen, Ron Alterovitz

RA-L 2016

Utilizing appropriate landmarks in the environment is often critical to planning a robot's motion for a given task. We propose a method to automatically learn task-relevant landmarks, and incorporate the method into an asymptotically optimal motion planner that is informed by a set of human-guided d
