Kinematics Based Safety Operation Mechanism for Robotic Surgery extending the JHU SAW Framework
Published in The MIDAS Journal
Published in The MIDAS Journal
As robotic surgery gains popularity [1, 2, 3], methods for improving situational awareness during tele-
operation have become an active area of research. Literature has attempted to incorporate haptic feedback
displays to enhance and improve user performance. [...]

Teleoperation is currently the dominant form of instrument control for surgical robotics. For example, the mechanical masters in the da Vinci surgical system provides a stable, precise interface for teleoperation, allowing execution of delicate tasks in [...]

Component-based software for dynamic configuration and control of computer assisted intervention systems
Published in The MIDAS Journal
Published in The MIDAS Journal
This paper presents the rationale for the use of a component-based architecture for computer-assisted intervention (CAI) systems, including the ability to reuse components and to easily develop distributed systems. We introduce three additional capabilities, [...]

Prototyping a Hybrid Cooperative and Tele-robotic Surgical System for Retinal Microsurgery
Published in The MIDAS Journal
Published in The MIDAS Journal
This paper presents the design of a tele-robotic microsurgical platform designed for development of cooperative and tele-operative control schemes, sensor based smart instruments, user interfaces and new surgical techniques with eye surgery as the driving [...]

The Surgical Assistant Workstation (SAW) in Minimally-Invasive Surgery and Microsurgery
Published in The MIDAS Journal
Published in The MIDAS Journal
The Surgical Assistant Workstation (SAW) provides a modular, open-source software framework to support rapid prototyping of computer-assisted surgery systems, especially those that benefit from enhanced 3D visualization and user interaction. The framework [...]
