Vision and task assistance using modular wireless in vivo surgical robotsStephen R Platt
University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE 68566, USA
IEEE Trans Biomed Eng 56:1700-10. 2009..They could ultimately be carried and deployed by nonmedical personnel at the site of an injury to allow a remotely located surgeon to provide critical first response medical intervention irrespective of the location of the patient...
Towards an in vivo wireless mobile robot for surgical assistanceJeff A Hawks
University of Nebraska, Department of Mechanical Engineering, NE, USA
Stud Health Technol Inform 132:153-8. 2008..Such wireless in vivo robots are much more transportable and lower cost than current robotic surgical assistants, and could ultimately allow a surgeon to become a remote first responder irrespective of the location of the patient...
Surgery with cooperative robotsAmy C Lehman
University of Nebraska Lincoln, Lincoln, Nebraska, USA
Comput Aided Surg 13:95-105. 2008..These procedures demonstrate that miniature in vivo robots can address the visualization constraints of minimally invasive surgery by providing video feedback and task assistance from arbitrary orientations within the peritoneal cavity...
Mobile in vivo biopsy and camera robotMark E Rentschler
University of Nebraska, Department of Mechanical Engineering, USA
Stud Health Technol Inform 119:449-54. 2006..This paper outlines the steps towards the successful design of an in vivo biopsy robot. The clamping forces required for successful biopsy are presented and in vivo performance of this robot is addressed...
Natural orifice surgery with an endoluminal mobile robotMark E Rentschler
University of Nebraska Lincoln, N104 Walter Scott Engineering Center, P O Box 880656, Lincoln, NE 68588 0656, USA
Surg Endosc 21:1212-5. 2007..Such technology will help to reduce patient trauma while providing surgical flexibility...
Toward in vivo mobilityMark E Rentschler
Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Lincoln, NE, USA
Stud Health Technol Inform 111:397-403. 2005..Such assistants will need to attain optimal viewing angles by traversing the abdominal organs without causing trauma. This paper presents an experimental analysis of miniature in vivo robot wheels...
In vivo robots for laparoscopic surgeryMark E Rentschler
University of Nebraska College of Engineering and Technology, Lincoln, NE, USA
Stud Health Technol Inform 98:316-22. 2004..These remotely controlled in vivo robots provide the surgeon with an enhanced field of view from arbitrary angles as well as provide dexterous manipulators not constrained by small incisions in the abdominal wall...
In vivo demonstration of surgical task assistance using miniature robotsJeff A Hawks
Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE 68566, USA
IEEE Trans Biomed Eng 59:2866-73. 2012..Laboratory and in vivo cooperation demonstrations between multiple robots are also presented...
