Accurate registration between a prior model and the real scene is essential for high-precision robotic manipulation, yet optical methods suffer from long calibration chains, line-of-sight constraints, and fabrication errors. We propose a calibration-free alternative that reformulates contact registr…
Carotid ultrasound is crucial for the assessment of cerebrovascular health, particularly the internal carotid artery (ICA). While previous research has explored automating carotid ultrasound, none has tackled the challenging ICA. This is primarily due to its deep location, tortuous course, and signi…
Ultrasound scanning is a critical imaging technique for real-time, non-invasive diagnostics. However, variations in patient anatomy and complex human-in-the-loop interactions pose significant challenges for autonomous robotic scanning. Existing ultrasound scanning robots are commonly limited to rela
The ultrasound scanning robot operates in environments where frequent human-robot interactions occur. Most existing control methods for ultrasound scanning address only one specific interaction situation or implement hard switches between controllers for different situations, which compromises both
Human-robot collaboration aims to extend human ability through cooperation with robots. This technology is currently helping people with physical disabilities, has transformed the manufacturing process of companies, improved surgical performance, and will likely revolutionize the daily lives of ever…
