Integrating Manual Dexterity with Mobility for Human-Scale Service Robotics The Case for Concentrated Research into Science and Technology Supporting Next-Generation Robotic Assistants Executive Summary 1 (2009)

Robert Ambrose, Christopher Atkeson, Oliver Brock, Rodney Brooks, Chris Brown, Joel Burdick, ...

This position paper argues that a concerted national effort to develop technologies for robotic service applications is critical and timely—targeting research on integrated systems for mobility and...

Optimal Port Placement in Robot-Assisted Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (2008)

Shaun Selha, Pierre Dupont, Ph. D, Robert Howe, Ph. D, Torchiana M. D

Abstract. A computer-based algorithm is being developed which, using preoperative images, provides the surgeon with a list of feasible port triplets ranked according to tool dexterity and endoscope...

The Maturing of the Triad Approach: Avoiding Misconceptions (2008)

Deana M. Crumbling, Joel S. Hayworth, Bradley A. Call, William M. Davis, Robert Howe, David S. Miller, ...

Misunderstandings and misconceptions have arisen as the Triad approach has gained wider application. The Triad initiative’s ability to catalyze second-generation cleanup practices will be hampered...

Fast image-based model of mitral valve closure for surgical planning (2008)

Hammer, Peter, Vasilyev, Nikolay, Perrin, Douglas, Del Nido, Pedro, Howe, Robert

Surgical repair of the mitral valve results in better outcomes than valve replacement, yet diseased valves are often replaced due to the technical difficulty of the repair process. A surgical...

Fast model of mitral valve closure for surgical planning (2008)

Hammer, Peter, Perrin, Douglas, Del Nido, Pedro, Howe, Robert

Surgical repair of a regurgitant mitral valve is preferred in most cases over valve replacement, but the latter is ofter performed instead due to the technical difficulty of repair. Repair is...

Dexterity optimization by port placement in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (2008)

Shaun Selha, Pierre Dupont, Robert Howe, David Torchiana

A computer-based algorithm has been developed which uses preoperative images to provide a surgeon with a list of feasible port triplets ranked according to tool dexterity and endoscopic view quality...

this paper, but the reality is that responsible parties fear that regulators will automatically reject data if the methods used are not EPA-approved

Real-time 3D ultrasoundbased servoing of a surgical instrument (2006)

Jeffrey Stoll, Paul Novotny, Robert Howe, Pierre Dupont

Abstract – This paper presents a real-time 3D ultrasoundguided robotic system, designed to autonomously navigate a surgical instrument to surgeon-specified target points. The system tracks the...

Ecological Sustainability of Birds in Boreal Forests (1998)

Niemi, Gerald, Hanowski, JoAnn, Helle, Pekka, Howe, Robert, Monkkonen, Mikko, Venier, Lisa, ...

"We review characteristics of birds in boreal forests in the context of their ecological sustainability under both natural and anthropogenic disturbances. We identify the underlying ecological...

ONR Annual Review 1997. Tactile Sensing and Information Processing for Man and Machine Systems. (1997)

Cutkosky, M. R., Kovacs, Gregory, Howe, Robert, Brockett, Roger

Haptic interfaces, that apply forces to the fingertips of a human operator, can be classified as grounded or ungrounded. Grounded devices, such as SensAble Devices' Phantom or Immersion's Impulse...

Shape Memory Alloy Actuator Controller Design for Tactile Displays (1995)

Robert Howe, Dimitrios A. Kontarinis, William J. Peine

This paper describes the design of a controller for a tactile shape display for dexterous telemanipulation applications. This device consists of an array of pin elements which rest against the human...
