    • 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 ...

    • Haptic Noise Cancellation: Restoring Force Perception in Robotically-Assisted Beating Heart Surgery 

      Yuen, Shelten G.; Dubec, Karl-Alexander; Howe, Robert D. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2010)
      Beating heart surgical methods have the potential to remove the need for the heart-lung machine and its attendant side effects, but must contend with the motion of the heart. Recent research in robotically-assisted ...

    • 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 ...

    • A Robust Uniaxial Force Sensor for Minimally Invasive Surgery 

      Yip, Michael C.; Yuen, Shelten G.; Howe, Robert D. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2010)
      This paper presents a novel, miniature uniaxial force sensor for use within a beating heart during mitral valve annuloplasty. The sensor measures 5.5 mm in diameter and 12 mm in length, and provides a hollow core to pass ...
