Automating precision subtasks such as debridement (removing dead or diseased tissue
fragments) with Robotic Surgical Assistants (RSAs) such as the da Vinci Research Kit …

This work proposes a shared-control tele-operation framework that adapts its cooperative
properties to the estimated skill level of the operator. It is hypothesized that different aspects …

Increasing the level of autonomy in robot-assisted surgery has the potential to improve the
safety, speed, and applicability of robot-assisted surgical systems. To facilitate the …

Remote robot manipulation with human control enables applications in which safety and
environmental constraints are adverse to humans (eg, underwater, space robotics and …

In robot-assisted surgery, exploration and manipulation tasks can be achieved through
collaboration among robotic and human agents. Collaboration models can potentially …

In austere environments, teleoperated surgical robots could save the lives of critically injured
patients if they can perform complex surgical maneuvers under limited communication …

Anatomical structures are rarely static during a surgical procedure due to breathing,
heartbeats, and peristaltic movements. Inspired by observing an expert surgeon, we …

Remote robot manipulation with human control enables applications where safety and
environmental constraints are adverse to humans (eg underwater, space robotics and …

This paper introduces a robot teleoperation system using the human hand motion captured
from IMU systems, and the evaluation of the performances based on user tests. In the …
