Enabling four-arm laparoscopic surgery by controlling two robotic assistants via haptic foot interfaces
Aude Billard, Mohamed Bouri, Walid Amanhoud, Jacob Hernandez Sanchez
Robotic surgery is a promising direction to improve surgeons and assistants’ daily life with respect to conventional surgery. In this work, we propose solo laparoscopic surgery in which two robotic arms, controlled via haptic foot interfaces, assist the ta ...
2023Liquid Metal-Based Sensor Skin Enabling Haptic Perception of Softness
Stéphanie Lacour, Ivan Furfaro, Emilio Fernández Lavado, Haotian Chen
Haptic perception of softness is a unique feature of the human skin that relies on the concurrent measurements of the lateral deformation and compression of the skin during object manipulation. This is challenging to implement in robotics because of combin ...
2023Foot Control of a Surgical Laparoscopic Gripper via 5DoF Haptic Robotic Platform: Design, Dynamics and Haptic Shared Control
Aude Billard, Mohamed Bouri, Walid Amanhoud, Jacob Hernandez Sanchez
Foot devices have been ubiquitously used in surgery to control surgical equipment. Most common applications are foot switches for electro-surgery, endoscope positioning and tele-robotic consoles. Switches fall short of providing continuous control as requi ...
2021The Impact of Virtual Reality and Viewpoints in Body Motion Based Drone Teleoperation
Dario Floreano, Fabrizio Schiano, Matteo Macchini, Manana Lortkipanidze
The operation of telerobotic systems can be a challenging task, requiring intuitive and efficient interfaces to enable inexperienced users to attain a high level of proficiency. Body-Machine Interfaces (BoMI) represent a promising alternative to standard c ...
2021Application of virtual reality in neurosurgery: Patient missing. A systematic review
Virtual reality (VR) technology had its earliest developments in the 1970s in the U.S. Air Force and has since evolved into a budding area of scientific research with many practical medical purposes. VR shows a high potential to benefit to learners and tra ...
2021Control of Contact Tasks in Autonomous and Human-Robot Collaborative Scenarios: A Dynamical System Approach
Robotic systems are more and more present in our daily life. Robots became indeed more economical, easy to program, safe and collaborative in their interaction with humans, versatile in performing different tasks and adaptive towards changes in the environ ...
EPFL2021Extensible High Force Manipulator For Complex Exploration
The development of compliant robotic manipulators which can show length change, compliance and dexterity could assist many challenging applications. Potential applications range from dexterous manipulation, robotic surgery or exploration of challenging env ...
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.2020Integration of hybrid material systems in conformable neural interfaces
Neural interfaces are devices that are implanted into the body and interface electrically with the central (CNS) or peripheral nervous system. They are inserted surgically for short periods of time or chronically to diagnose or treat several neural disease ...
EPFL2020Paragangliomas of the spine: a retrospective case series in a national reference French center
Introduction Primary paragangliomas (PG) of the spine are extremely rare entities. The present study reviews our experience over a period of 30 years. Methods This is a retrospective, single center, observational study. Patients surgically treated for a sp ...
2019Learning Trajectory Distributions for Assisted Teleoperation and Path Planning
Several approaches have been proposed to assist humans in co-manipulation and teleoperation tasks given demonstrated trajectories. However, these approaches are not applicable when the demonstrations are suboptimal or when the generalization capabilities o ...
