Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is commonly used in some robotic-assisted surgery (RAS)
systems. However, many RAS lack the strength and tactile sensation of surgical tools …

Robotic surgery has emerged as a transformative technology in obstetrics and gynecology,
offering enhanced precision and minimally invasive techniques for various procedures. This …

Abstract Purpose Using the da Vinci Research Kit (dVRK), we propose and experimentally
demonstrate transfer learning (Xfer) of dynamics between different configurations and robots …

Haptic feedback to the surgeon during robotic surgery would enable safer and more
immersive surgeries but estimating tissue interaction forces at the tips of robotically …

Accurate soft-tissue simulation using biomechanical models is computationally expensive.
This is unfortunate because accurate biomechanical models could model tool-tissue …

Purpose This paper evaluates user performance in telesurgical tasks with the da Vinci
Research Kit (dVRK), comparing unilateral teleoperation, bilateral teleoperation with force …

In this study, we further investigate the robustness and generalization ability of an neural
network (NN) based force estimation method, using the da Vinci Research Kit Si (dVRK-Si) …

Rehabilitation robots have shown a promise in aiding patient recovery by supporting them in
repetitive, systematic training sessions. A critical factor in the success of such training is the …

In the realm of robot manipulation and motion control, the ability to infer force information
plays a crucial role in facilitating successful interactions between robots and their …

Robotic surgical systems are increasingly used for minimally-invasive surgeries. As such,
there is opportunity for these systems to fundamentally change the way surgeries are …
