Background: Robotic puncture system (RPS) consists of an optical tracking system (OTS) and a robotic arm gripping the puncture needle. Typically, the RPS requires hand-eye calibration before the surgery in order to obtain the relative position between the OTS and the robotic arm. However, if there is any displacement or angular deviation in either the robotic arm or the OTS, the calibration results become invalid, necessitating recalibration.
Methods: We propose an uncalibrated robotic puncture method that does not rely on the hand-eye relationship of the RPS. By constructing angle and position graph jacobian matrices respectively, and employing Square Root Cubature Kalman Filter for online estimation. This enables obtaining control variables for the robot to perform puncture operations.
Results: In simulation experiments, our method achieves an average error of 1.3495 mm and an average time consumption of 39.331 s.
Conclusions: Experimental results indicate that our method possesses high accuracy, low time consumption, and strong robustness.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers high-quality soft tissue imaging without radiation exposure, which allows stereotactic techniques to significantly improve outcomes in cranial surgeries, particularly in deep brain stimulation (DBS) procedures. However, conventional stereotactic neurosurgeries often rely on mechanical stereotactic head frames and preoperative imaging, leading to suboptimal results due to the invisibility and the contact with patient's head, which may cause additional harm. This paper presents a frameless, MRI-guided stereotactic neurosurgical robotic system.

Background: Percutaneous puncture procedures, guided by image-guided robotic-assisted intervention (IGRI) systems, are susceptible to disruptions in patients' respiratory rhythm due to factors such as pain and psychological distress.
Methods: We developed an IGRI system with a coded structured light camera and a binocular camera. Our system incorporates dual-pathway deep learning networks, combining convolutional long short-term memory (ConvLSTM) and point long short-term memory (PointLSTM) modules for real-time respiratory signal monitoring.

Background: In-bore MRI prostate biopsy offers improved visualisation and detection of significant prostate cancer; however, it is not widely practiced in cancer diagnosis due to its associated costs.
Methods: This work introduces the first prototype towards a 7-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) MRI-conditional piezoelectrically actuated robotic system for transperineal prostate biopsy. The robot enables needle insertions in the desired trajectories.
