Increased demand for less invasive procedures has accelerated the adoption of Intraluminal
Procedures (IP) and Endovascular Interventions (EI) performed through body lumens and …

Abstract Minimally Invasive Procedures (MIPs) emerged as an alternative to more invasive
surgical approaches, offering patient benefits such as smaller incisions, less pain, and …

In this paper, we propose a novel shape-sensing method based on deep learning with a
multi-core optical fiber for the accurate shape-sensing of catheters and guidewires. Firstly …

Soft robots have been leveraged in considerable areas like surgery, rehabilitation, and
bionics due to their softness, flexibility, and safety. However, it is challenging to produce two …

Optical fiber-based shape sensing is gaining popularity in cardiac catheterization lately.
Typically, these procedures are taking place under the guidance of fluoroscopy. However …

Soft continuum robots are gaining increasing attention for their high dexterity, and shape
reconstruction is one of the key techniques. Here, we propose a shape-reconstruction …

Minimally invasive catheter-based interventions normally take place under the guidance of
fluoroscopy. However, fluoroscopy is harmful to both patients and clinicians. Moreover, it …

Soft robots show compliance and have infinite degrees of freedom. Thanks to these
properties, such robots can be leveraged for surgery, rehabilitation, biomimetics …
