Surgeon Design Interface for Patient-Specific Concentric Tube Robots.

Proceedings of the ... IEEE/RAS-EMBS International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics. IEEE/RAS-EMBS International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics

Morimoto TK, Greer JD, Hsieh MH, Okamura AM.
PMID: 28656124
Proc IEEE RAS EMBS Int Conf Biomed Robot Biomechatron. 2016 Jun;2016:41-48. doi: 10.1109/BIOROB.2016.7523596. Epub 2016 Jul 28.

Concentric tube robots have potential for use in a wide variety of surgical procedures due to their small size, dexterity, and ability to move in highly curved paths. Unlike most existing clinical robots, the design of these robots can...

Toward the Design of Personalized Continuum Surgical Robots.

Annals of biomedical engineering

Morimoto TK, Greer JD, Hawkes EW, Hsieh MH, Okamura AM.

Ann Biomed Eng. 2018 Oct;46(10):1522-1533. doi: 10.1007/s10439-018-2062-2. Epub 2018 May 31.

Robot-assisted minimally invasive surgical systems enable procedures with reduced pain, recovery time, and scarring compared to traditional surgery. While these improvements benefit a large number of patients, safe access to diseased sites is not always possible for specialized patient...

Remote Electromagnetic Vibration of Steerable Needles for Imaging in Power Doppler Ultrasound.

IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation : ICRA : [proceedings]. IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation

Cabreros SS, Jimenez NM, Greer JD, Adebar TK, Okamura AM.

IEEE Int Conf Robot Autom. 2015 May;2015:2244-2249. doi: 10.1109/ICRA.2015.7139496.

Robotic needle steering systems for minimally invasive medical procedures require complementary medical imaging systems to track the needles in real time. Ultrasound is a promising imaging modality because it offers relatively low-cost, real-time imaging of the needle. Previous methods...

Design of a Compact Actuation and Control System for Flexible Medical Robots.

IEEE robotics and automation letters

Morimoto TK, Hawkes EW, Okamura AM.
PMID: 28664187
IEEE Robot Autom Lett. 2017 Jul;2(3):1579-1585. doi: 10.1109/LRA.2017.2676240. Epub 2017 Mar 01.

Flexible medical robots can improve surgical procedures by decreasing invasiveness and increasing accessibility within the body. Using preoperative images, these robots can be designed to optimize a procedure for a particular patient. To minimize invasiveness and maximize biocompatibility, the...

Design of 3-D Printed Concentric Tube Robots.

IEEE transactions on robotics : a publication of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society

Morimoto TK, Okamura AM.
PMID: 28713227
IEEE Trans Robot. 2016 Dec;32(6):1419-1430. doi: 10.1109/TRO.2016.2602368. Epub 2016 Sep 23.

Concentric tube surgical robots are minimally invasive devices with the advantages of snake-like reconfigurability, long and thin form factor, and placement of actuation outside the patient's body. These robots can also be designed and manufactured to acquire targets in...

Series Pneumatic Artificial Muscles (sPAMs) and Application to a Soft Continuum Robot.

IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation : ICRA : [proceedings]. IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation

Greer JD, Morimoto TK, Okamura AM, Hawkes EW.
PMID: 29379672
IEEE Int Conf Robot Autom. 2017 May-Jun;2017:5503-5510. doi: 10.1109/ICRA.2017.7989648. Epub 2017 Jul 24.

We describe a new series pneumatic artificial muscle (sPAM) and its application as an actuator for a soft continuum robot. The robot consists of three sPAMs arranged radially round a tubular pneumatic backbone. Analogous to tendons, the sPAMs exert...

Highly Articulated Robotic Needle Achieves Distributed Ablation of Liver Tissue.

IEEE robotics and automation letters

Gerboni G, Greer JD, Laeseke PF, Hwang GL, Okamura AM.
PMID: 28664186
IEEE Robot Autom Lett. 2017 Jul;2(3):1367-1374. doi: 10.1109/LRA.2017.2668467. Epub 2017 Feb 14.

Robotic needle steering will improve percutaneous radio-frequency ablation (RFA) in the liver by performing distributed ablations without requiring multiple punctures of the liver capsule, thus enabling the treatment of large or multifocal tumors. However, state-of-the-art asymmetric-tip robotic needle steering...
