Universal Surgical Tool Exchange and Identification System

Unmet NeedThe role robotics play in surgery is growing because of the benefits it offers to patient outcome, surgeon comfort and duration of surgery. During conventional (non-robotic) surgery, surgeons are accustomed to having a reliable grip on the hand tool and being able to rapidly swap the tools with another one when needed by the help of an OR...

Redundant Force Sensing for Cooperatively-controlled Surgical Robot

Unmet Need:Many cooperatively controlled surgical robots incorporate force/torque sensors as the main input for the human interactions controlling robot motion. Force/torque sensors are susceptible to many modes of failure due to accidents, misuse, or hazards in the environment. Sensors can also generate false measurements from temperature change, electrical...
