Design and Modeling of Motorized Tapping Mechanism for Effective Needle Penetration

RA-L 2026

Robot-assisted needle insertion is widely employed in minimally invasive percutaneous interventions such as biopsy, brachytherapy, or ablation; however, most existing systems predominantly emphasize needle dexterity and manipulation within the soft tissue, neglecting the significant challenge of per

Bevel-Tip Needle Deflection Modeling, Simulation, and Validation in Multi-Layer Tissues

ICRA 2024poster

Percutaneous needle insertions are commonly performed for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes as an effective alternative to more invasive surgical procedures. However, the outcome of needle-based approaches relies heavily on the accuracy of needle placement, which remains a challenge even with robo…

In Vivo Feasibility Study: Evaluating Autonomous Data-Driven Robotic Needle Trajectory Correction in MRI-Guided Transperineal Procedures

RA-L 2024

This study addresses the targeting challenges in MRI-guided transperineal needle placement for prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis and treatment, a procedure where accuracy is crucial for effective outcomes. We introduce a parameter-agnostic trajectory correction approach incorporating a data-driven clo
