Robot-assisted deployment of fenestrated stent grafts in fenestrated endovascular aortic repair (FEVAR) requires accurate geometrical alignment. Currently, this process is guided by two-dimensional (2-D) fluoroscopy, which is insufficiently informative and error prone. In this letter, a real-time fr
Robot-assisted Fenestrated Endovascular Aortic Repair (FEVAR) is currently navigated by 2D fluoroscopy which is insufficiently informative. Previously, a semi-automatic 3D shape instantiation method was developed to instantiate the 3D shape of a main, deployed, and fenestrated stent graft from a sin…
This paper presents a vision-based learning-by-demonstration approach for multi-robot manipulation. With this method, a vision system is involved in both the task demonstration and reproduction stages, and the speed and accuracy of the task reproduction are adapted according to the context of the de…
This paper presents an intelligent sewing system for personalized stent graft manufacturing, a challenging sewing task that is currently performed manually. Inspired by medical suturing robots, we have adopted a single-sided sewing technique using a curved needle to perform the task of sewing stents…
Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation (RFCA) is a procedure used to treat cardiac arrhythmias by burning at regions of the endocardial walls to prevent the abnormal electrical circuits causing the problem. Patients with Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD) who have undergone surgical treatments suffer s
Endovascular procedures are characterised by significant challenges mainly due to the complexity in catheter control and navigation. Real-time recovery of the 3-D structure of the vasculature is necessary to visualise the interaction between the catheter and its surrounding environment to facilitate
