Faculty Candidate: Toward Semi-Autonomous Surgical Tasks using Continuum Robots: Modeling, Calibration, and Intelligent Assistance

GHC 6115

Abstract: Continuum robots for surgical applications can support complex surgical tasks within deep confined spaces of the body. Such surgical paradigms often present surgeons with sensory and surgical scene interpretation challenges that diminish situational awareness. These robots can reach deep into the body, while in some scenarios, using them in a semi-automated mode of operation [...]
