A Realistic Surgical Simulator for Non-Rigid and Contact-Rich Manipulation in Surgeries with the da Vinci Research Kit [PDF]
2024 21st International Conference on Ubiquitous Robots (UR), New
York, NY, USA, 2024, pp. 64-70Realistic real-time surgical simulators play an increasingly important role in surgical robotics research, such as surgical robot learning and automation, and surgical skills assessment. Although there are a number of existing surgical simulators for research, they generally lack the ability to simulate the diverse types of objects and contact-rich ...

Multi‐Temporality and the Ghostly: How Communing with Times Past Informs Organizational Futures
Journal of Management Studies, Volume 61, Issue 8, Page 3401-3431, December 2024.Abstract Despite growing interest in time, history, and memory, we lack an understanding of the multi‐temporal reality of organizations – how past, present, and future intersect to inform organizational life. In assuming that legacies are bequeathed from past to present, there has been little theorization on how this works practically.

Realistic Data Generation for 6D Pose Estimation of Surgical Instruments [PDF]
2024 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation
(ICRA)Automation in surgical robotics has the potential to improve patient safety and surgical efficiency, but it is difficult to achieve due to the need for robust perception algorithms. In particular, 6D pose estimation of surgical instruments is critical to enable the automatic execution of surgical maneuvers based on visual feedback.

SuPer Deep: A Surgical Perception Framework for Robotic Tissue Manipulation using Deep Learning for Feature Extraction [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Robotic automation in surgery requires precise tracking of surgical tools and mapping of deformable tissue. Previous works on surgical perception frameworks require significant effort in developing features for surgical tool and tissue tracking. In this work, we overcome the challenge by exploiting deep learning methods for surgical perception.

Multi-Task Recurrent Neural Network for Surgical Gesture Recognition and Progress Prediction [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Surgical gesture recognition is important for surgical data science and computer-aided intervention. Even with robotic kinematic information, automatically segmenting surgical steps presents numerous challenges because surgical demonstrations are characterized by high variability in style, duration and order of actions.
