Robots are expanding from industrial applications to daily life, in areas such as medical robotics, rehabilitative social and mobile/aerial robotics systems. In recent years, augmented reality (AR) has been integrated into many robotic applications, including medical, industrial, human–robot interactions, collaboration scenarios. this work, AR for both robot is reviewed summarized. For we investigated the integration of (1) preoperative surgical task planning; (2) image-guided surgery; (3)...
Three-dimensional (3D) imaging techniques (e.g., confocal microscopy) are commonly used to visualize in vitro models, especially microvasculature on-a-chip. Conversely, 3D analysis is not the standard method extract quantitative information from those models. We developed μVES algorithm analyze vascularized models leveraging data. It computes morphological parameters (geometry, diameter, length, tortuosity, eccentricity) and intravascular flow velocity. application microfluidic shows that...
During percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) operations, the surgeon is required to define incision point on patient's back, align needle a preplanned path, and perform puncture operations afterward. The procedure currently performed manually using ultrasound or fluoroscopy imaging for orientation, which, however, implies limited accuracy low reproducibility. This work incorporates augmented reality (AR) visualization with an optical see-through head-mounted display (OST-HMD) human–robot...
The development of the Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery (RAMIS) imposes an increasing demand for surgical training platforms, especially low-cost simulation-based through creation new open-source modules. For this goal, a da Vinci Surgical robot simulator based on Unity Physics Engine is developed. integrated with Research Kit (dVRK), kinematic models and multiple sensors. Robot Operating System (ROS) interface embedded better integration ROS software components. can provide...
