An Anthro-Centric Multisensory Interface for Sensory Augmentation of Tele-Surgery
Anil K Raj, MD, Adrien Moucheboeuf, Andrew Holmgren, Timothy L Hutcheson, Joshua D Cameron, David V Lecoutre, Thomas A Vassiliades, MD MBA. Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition Objective of Technique: While telerobotic surgical systems augment minimally invasive surgery techniques and reduce surgical trauma, they increase surgeon workload by limiting sensory feedback. Unlike open… Continue Reading
A Novel Snake Robot for NOTES
Michael M Awad, MD PhD, Shyam Thakkar, MD, Howie Choset, PhD. Washington University in St. Louis, Drexel University, Carnegie Mellon University OBJECTIVE The emergence of laparoendoscopic technology has revolutionized the practice of surgery over the last 20 years. However, many complex procedures are still performed in an open fashion because of limitations of this technology.… Continue Reading
