Pose Tracking of Supermicrosurgical Robot Towards Multi-User Teleoperation.

This paper presents pose tracking experiments using a supermicrosurgical robot designed to consider teleoperation with multiple surgeons. Currently, existing supermicrosurgical robots assist only the primary surgeon. However, both primary and assistant surgeons need a high-precision motion for critical tasks that can easily damage microtissue.

A Pilot Study On The Novel Non-Invasive Nerve-Holder With Negative-Pressure Suctions.

In performing neurosurgical operation on peripheral nervous system, the most important first step is to robustly hold the target nerve, since the nerve-holding stability and reliability significantly affect the result of surgical operation. However it is not straightforward to robustly hold peripheral nerve during the surgical operation, because the peripheral nerve is too flexible and slippery. In this study, we design a novel peripheral nerve-holder that can be used for the neurosurgical operation.

A handheld device for magnetically inserting a neural interface into a peripheral nervous system.

This paper proposes a compact handheld device for magnetically inserting a neural interface into a peripheral nervous system (PNS). Users can pull and hold a flexible peripheral nerve (e.g.
