From Monocular Vision to Autonomous Action: Guiding Tumor Resection via 3D Reconstruction

Ayberk Acar, Mariana E. Smith, Lidia Al-Zogbi, Tanner Watts, Fangjie Li, Hao Li +11

IROS 2025

Surgical automation requires precise guidance and understanding of the scene. Current methods in the literature rely on bulky depth cameras to create maps of the anatomy; however, this does not translate well to space-limited clinical applications. Monocular cameras are small and allow minimally inv

Toward Continuum Robot Tentacles for Lung Interventions: Exploring Folding Support Disks

Margaret Rox, Daniel S. Esser, Mariana E. Smith, Tayfun Efe Ertop, Maxwell Emerson, Fabien Maldonado +3

RA-L 2023

Toward the future goal of creating a lung surgery system featuring multiple tentacle-like robots, we present a new folding concept for continuum robots that enables them to squeeze through openings smaller than the robot's nominal diameter (e.g., the narrow space between adjacent ribs). This is faci
