  • Additive manufacturing of patient-specific tubular continuum manipulators 
    Amanov, E.; Nguyen, T.-D.; Burgner-Kahrs, Jessica (Bellingham, WA : S P I E - International Society for Optical Engineering, 2015)
    Tubular continuum robots, which are composed of multiple concentric, precurved, elastic tubes, provide more dexterity than traditional surgical instruments at the same diameter. The tubes can be precurved such that the ...
  • Evaluation of input devices for teleoperation of concentric tube continuum robots for surgical tasks 
    Fellmann, Carolin; Kashi, Daryoush; Burgner-Kahrs, Jessica (Bellingham, Wash. : SPIE, 2015)
    For those minimally invasive surgery where conventional surgical instruments cannot reach the surgical site due to their straight structure and rigidity, concentric tube continuum robots are a promising technology because ...
  • Toward automated cochlear implant insertion using tubular manipulators 
    Granna, Josephine; Rau, Thomas S.; Nguyen, Thien-Dang; Lenarz, Thomas; Majdani, Omid; Burgner-Kahrs, Jessica (Bellingham, Wash. : SPIE, 2016)
    During manual cochlear implant electrode insertion the surgeon is at risk to damage the intracochlear fine-structure, as the electrode array is inserted through a small opening in the cochlea blindly with little force-feedback. ...
