Robot-assisted surgeries have been integrated and leading to a paradigm shift in surgical
fields. With the emergence of Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS), especially Natural Orifice …

This review looks at the implementation of magnetic-based approaches in surgical
instruments for abdominal surgeries. As abdominal surgical techniques advance toward …

This paper presents the design of a novel insertable robotic capsule camera system for
single-incision laparoscopic surgery. This design features a unified mechanism for …

In this letter, we present for the first time a magnetic anchoring-actuation link with an auto-flip
feature. This orthogonal magnetic arrangement relies on the placement of two permanent …

This paper presents the design of a novel insertable robotic capsule camera system for
single incision laparoscopic surgery. This design features a unified mechanism for …

The application of force in surgical settings is typically accomplished via physical tethers to
the surgical tool. While physical tethers are common and critical, some internal surgical …

This paper proposes a magnetic needle steering controller to manipulate mesoscale
magnetic suture needles for executing planned suturing motion. This is an initial step …

This paper presents a long-range magnetic actuated and guided endoscope for uniport
video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). In VATS, the incision is quite narrow and part of the …

This paper presents an initial prototype of an in vivo robotic laparoscopic camera that
features optimized illumination to address the problems, ie inferior lighting uniformity and …

This paper demonstrates a Magnetic Actuated Robotic Surgical (MARS) camera system with
two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) orientation control for single incision laparoscopic surgery …
