Learning Invariant Representation of Tasks for Robust Surgical State Estimation [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Surgical state estimators in robot-assisted surgery (RAS) - especially those trained via learning techniques - rely heavily on datasets that capture surgeon actions in laboratory or real-world surgical tasks. Real-world RAS datasets are costly to acquire, are obtained from multiple surgeons who may use different surgical strategies, and are recorded ...

Gel-Electrophoresis and Diffusion of Ring-Shaped DNA [PDF]
, 1997 A model for the motion of ring-shaped DNA in a gel is introduced and studied by numerical simulations and a mean-field approximation. The ring motion is mediated by finger-shaped loops (hernias) that move in an amoeba-like fashion around the gel obstructions. This constitutes an extension of previous reptation tube treatments.

Overcoming the Force Limitations of Magnetic Robotic Surgery: Impact-based Tetherless Suturing [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Magnetic robotics obviate the physical connections between the actuators and end effectors resulting in ultra-minimally invasive surgeries. Even though such a wireless actuation method is highly advantageous in medical applications, the trade-off between the applied force and miniature magnetic end effector dimensions has been one of the main ...
