Continuum robots provide inherent structural compliance with high dexterity to access the
surgical target sites along tortuous anatomical paths under constrained environments and …

Pre-operative imaging has been used earlier to guide traditional surgical navigation
systems. There has been a lot of effort in the last decade to integrate augmented reality into …

One quarter of women who undergo breast lumpectomy to treat early-stage breast cancer in
the United States undergo a repeat surgery due to concerns that residual tumor was left …

Virtual reality (VR) has been used in many medical training systems for surgical procedures.
However, the current systems are limited due to inadequate interactions, restricted …

In this paper, we aim at optimizing fault-tolerance techniques based on a
checkpointing/restart mechanism, in the context of cloud computing. Our contribution is three …

The rejection rates of upper-limb prosthetic devices in adults are high, currently averaging
26% and 23% for body-powered and electric devices, respectively. While many factors …

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging provides two-dimensional (2-D) real-time luminal
and transmural cross-sectional images of intravascular vessels with detailed pathological …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides enhanced soft tissue contrast and high spatial
resolution. However, the relationship between intensity values among soft tissues in MRI is …

By aligning virtual augmentations with real objects, optical see-through head-mounted
display (OST-HMD)-based augmented reality (AR) can enhance user-task performance. Our …

This paper presents a framework for automatically generating speech-based interfaces for
controlling virtual and augmented reality (AR) applications on wearable devices. Starting …
