    • Force tracking with feed-forward motion estimation for beating heart surgery 

      Yuen, Shelten G.; Perrin, Douglas Paul; Vasilyev, Nikolay; Del Nido, Pedro J.; Howe, Robert D. (Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010)
      The manipulation of fast moving, delicate tissues in beating heart procedures presents a considerable challenge to the surgeon. A robotic force tracking system can assist the surgeon by applying precise contact forces to ...
    • Real-Time 4D Ultrasound Mosaicing and Visualization 

      Brattain, Laura; Howe, Robert D. (Springer Science + Business Media, 2011)
      Intra-cardiac 3D ultrasound imaging has enabled new minimally invasive procedures. Its narrow field of view, however, limits its efficacy in guiding beating heart procedures where geometrically complex and spatially extended ...
    • Robotic tissue tracking for beating heart mitral valve surgery 

      Yuen, Shelten G.; Vasilyev, Nikolay; Del Nido, Pedro J.; Howe, Robert D. (Elsevier BV, 2013)
      The rapid motion of the heart presents a significant challenge to the surgeon during intracardiac beating heart procedures. We present a 3D ultrasound-guided motion compensation system that assists the surgeon by synchronizing ...
