Robotic teleoperation over long communication distances poses challenges due to delays in commands and feedback from network latency. One simple yet effective strategy to reduce errors and increase performance under delay is to downscale the relative motion between the operating surgeon and the robo
Inaccurate tool localization is one of the main reasons for failures in automating surgical tasks. Imprecise robot kinematics and noisy observations caused by the poor visual acuity of an endoscopic camera make tool tracking challenging. Previous works in surgical automation adopt environment-specif…
Robots “in-the-wild” encounter and must traverse widely varying terrain, ranging from solid ground to granular materials like sand to full liquids. Numerous approaches exist, including wheeled and legged robots, each excelling in specific domains. Screw-based locomotion is a promising approach for m…
