Fast and Adaptive Fractal Tree-Based Path Planning for Programmable Bevel Tip Steerable Needles

RA-L 2016

Steerable needles are a promising technology for minimally invasive surgery, as they can provide access to difficult to reach locations while avoiding delicate anatomical regions. However, due to the unpredictable tissue deformation associated with needle insertion and the complexity of many surgica

Smooth on-line path planning for needle steering with non-linear constraints

IROS 2015poster

Percutaneous intervention is a commonly used surgical procedure for many diagnostic and therapeutic operations. Target motion in soft tissue during an intervention caused by tissue deformation is a common problem, along with needle displacement. In this work, we present a deformation planner that ge…
