      This paper presents a laparoscopic grasping tool for minimally invasive surgery with the capability of multiaxis force sensing. The tool is able to sense three-axis Cartesian manipulation force and a single-axis grasping ...
    • Controlling the trajectory of a flexible ultrathin endoscope for fully automated bladder surveillance 

      Burkhardt, Matthew R.; Soper, Timothy D.; Yoon, Woon Jong; Seibel, Eric J. ( IEEE , 2014 , Article)
      During cystoscopy, the urologist manually steers a cyst scope inside a patient's bladder to visually inspect the inner surface. Cystoscopies are performed as part of surveillance for bladder cancer, making it the most ...
    • A Hands-Free Interface for Controlling Virtual Electric-Powered Wheelchairs 

      Gulrez, Tauseef; Tognetti, Alessandro; Yoon, Woon Jong; Kavakli, Manolya; Cabibihan, John-John ( SAGE publications , 2016 , Article)
      This paper focuses on how to provide mobility to people with motor impairments with the integration of robotics and wearable computing systems. The burden of learning to control powered mobility devices should not fall ...
