Tracker systems for handheld surgical robotics
Project Head: Cameron Riviere

We are developing highly accurate surgical tracking systems for handheld microsurgical robotics. Microsurgical applications such as vitreoretinal surgery require high accuracy. The handheld nature of the microsurgical robotic systems that our lab develops requires low latency, since the surgeon’s hand motion includes physiological tremor, which is relatively high in frequency. Our group has developed both electromagnetic and optical tracking systems for this purpose.
