Grasping and manipulation of biological tissue are crucial processes during Robot-Assisted Surgery (RAS). An intelligent system that aids surgeons in maintaining a reliable, atraumatic grasp on tissue, would allow them to focus on the clinical task, and potentially improve safety and performance. To
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers many benefits, including unsurpassed soft-tissue characterization and the ability to combine detection and biopsy into a single procedure. However, limited patient access in the narrow scanner bore requires tedious iterative positioning or use of robotic assis…
Grasping and manipulation of biological tissue are crucial processes during minimally invasive surgery (MIS). To enable atraumatic and reliable grasping, it would be useful to detect slip of the grasped object. Because tissue is moist, conformable, and delicate, and because the sensor must work in a…
