Medical robotic laser systems require precise positioning and movements to control laser beam paths associated with sensors and other optical systems in many applications (e.g., laser surgery, laser-based tissue diagnosis). While existing robotic laser beam control systems were developed for microsc…
Robotic laser systems enable sub-millimeter, non- contact tissue resection, yet existing platforms lack volumetric planning and intraoperative feedback. We present RATS (Robot-Assisted Tissue Surgery), an intelligent optical coherence tomography (OCT)-guided robotic platform for autonomous volumetri…
In robotic laser surgery, shape prediction of an one-shot ablation crater is an important problem for minimizing errant overcutting of healthy tissue during the course of pathological tissue resection and precise tumor removal. Since it is difficult to physically model the laser-tissue interaction d…
