Augmented Bridge Spinal Fixation: A New Concept for Addressing Pedicle Screw Pullout via a Steerable Drilling Robot and Flexible Pedicle Screws

Yash Kulkarni, Susheela Sharma, Omid Rezayof, Siddhartha Kapuria, Jordan P. Amadio, Mohsen Khadem +2
IROS 2025

To address the screw loosening and pullout limitations of rigid pedicle screws in spinal fixation procedures, and to leverage our recently developed Concentric Tube Steerable Drilling Robot (CT-SDR) and Flexible Pedicle Screw (FPS), in this paper, we introduce the concept of Augmented Bridge Spinal

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

Towards Design and Development of a Concentric Tube Steerable Drilling Robot for Creating S-shape Tunnels for Pelvic Fixation Procedures

Yash Kulkarni, Susheela Sharma, Sarah Go, Jordan P. Amadio, Mohsen Khadem, Farshid Alambeigi
IROS 2025

Current pelvic fixation techniques rely on rigid drilling tools, which inherently constrain the placement of rigid medical screws in the complex anatomy of pelvis. These constraints prevent medical screws from following anatomically optimal pathways and force clinicians to fixate screws in linear tr

Towards Evaluating the User Comfort and Experience of a Novel Steerable Drilling Robotic System in Pedicle Screw Fixation Procedures: A User Study

Susheela Sharma, Frigyes Samuel Racz, Sarah Go, Siddhartha Kapuria, Omid Rezayof, Jordan P. Amadio +3
ICRA 2025

Aiming at developing a safe, intuitive, and collaborative steerable drilling robotic system for pedicle screw fixation procedures, in this paper, we leverage our recently developed steerable drilling robotic framework, and developed a collaborative drilling mode to control this system. In this contr

Spatial Spinal Fixation: A Transformative Approach Using a Unique Robot-Assisted Steerable Drilling System and Flexible Pedicle Screw

Susheela Sharma, Yash Kulkarni, Sarah Go, Jeff Bonyun, Jordan P. Amadio, Maryam Tilton +2
IROS 2024poster

Spinal fixation procedures are currently limited by the rigidity of the existing instruments and pedicle screws leading to fixation failures and rigid pedicle screw pull out. Leveraging our recently developed Concentric Tube Steerable Drilling Robot (CT-SDR) in integration with a robotic manipulator…

A Novel Concentric Tube Steerable Drilling Robot for Minimally Invasive Treatment of Spinal Tumors Using Cavity and U-shape Drilling Techniques

Susheela Sharma, Ji H. Park, Jordan P. Amadio, Mohsen Khadem, Farshid Alambeigi
ICRA 2023poster

In this paper, we present the design, fabrication, and evaluation of a novel flexible, yet structurally strong, Concentric Tube Steerable Drilling Robot (CT-SDR) to improve minimally invasive treatment of spinal tumors. Inspired by concentric tube robots, the proposed two degree-of-freedom (DoF) CT-…

CogniDaVinci: Towards Estimating Mental Workload Modulated by Visual Delays During Telerobotic Surgery - An EEG-based Analysis

Satyam Kumar, Deland H. Liu, Frigyes S. Racz, Manuel Retana, Susheela Sharma, Fumiaki Iwane +5
ICRA 2023poster

Communication latency in any delicate telerobotic operation (such as remote surgery over distance) would impose a significant challenge due to the temporal degradation of visual perception and can substantially affect the outcomes. Less is known, however, about the neurophysiological basis of how op…
