An Autonomous Surgical Instrument Tracking Framework With a Binocular Camera for a Robotic Flexible Laparoscope

RA-L 2023

In minimally invasive surgery (MIS), the field of view (FOV) plays a vital role. To enhance the stability of FOV and lighten the burden on surgeons, robot-assisted laparoscope systems have been developed and introduced into surgery. However, most of the existing automatic surgical tool tracking sche

Robotic Kinematic Calibration with Only Position Data and Consideration of Non-Geometric Errors Using POE-Based Model and Gaussian Mixture Models

IROS 2023poster

Kinematic calibration is crucial to improve the positioning accuracy of serial robots. This paper proposes a novel algorithm for robotic kinematic calibration based on an augmented product of exponentials (POE)-based kinematic model using Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) with only position data. In th…

A Surgeon Preference-Guided Autonomous Instrument Tracking Method With a Robotic Flexible Endoscope Based on dVRK Platform

RA-L 2022

In minimally invasive surgery, endoscopes serve as the eyes of surgeon. To avoid fatigue in manual endoscope steering, robotic endoscope holders have been developed. Unfortunately, existing robotic endoscope holders are not widely adopted due to the poor surgeon-robot cooperation. In this work, we d
