Background: This article provides a scoping review on the current status of Image-Guided
Navigation with various forms of digital technologies, including Extended Reality …

Due to good fixation and obvious clinical advantages in the treatment of spinal diseases,
pedicle screw technology is widely employed in spinal surgery. However, most screw …

Flexible robots have been widely used in minimally-invasive surgery because of their
dexterity and accuracy. However, the torsion of end-effector under bending state usually …

Robot-assisted surgery is becoming popular in the operation room (OR) for, eg, orthopedic
surgery (among other surgeries). However, robotic executions related to surgical steps …

In this paper, we aim to improve the tracking performance of the manipulator joint system by
establishing accurate friction model based on the Stribeck model and the cubic polynomial …

Purpose This article aims to develop a new theory that can better explain and predict how
and when humans interact with commercial robots. To this end, utility maximization theory …

Purpose Spinal instrumentation with pedicle screw placement (PSP) is an important surgical
technique for spinal diseases. Accurate screw trajectory is a prerequisite for PSP …

Minimally invasive pedicle screw placement (MIPSP) is a widely used treatment for spine
diseases. When coupled with intraoperative navigation modalities, robots may help improve …

Robotic assistance is applied in orthopedic interventions for pedicle screw placement (PSP).
While current robots do not act autonomously, they are expected to have higher autonomy …

Image-guided robotic spine surgery systems, currently used only for pedicle screw
placement, have been in clinical use since 2004. Robotic spine osteotomy (bone removal …
