IROS 2017poster

This paper specifies a surgical robot performing semi-autonomous electrosurgery for tumor resection and evaluates its accuracy using a visual servoing paradigm. We describe the design and integration of a novel, multi-degree of freedom electrosurgical tool for the smart tissue autonomous robot (STAR…

ICRA 2016

Three-dimensional sensing of changing surgical scenes would improve the function of surgical robots. This paper explores the requirements and utility of a new type of depth sensor, the plenoptic camera, for surgical robots. We present a metric calibration procedure for the plenoptic camera and the r
