The accuracy of laser trackers in large-scale dimensional metrology is subject to various influencing factors, with instrument positioning being a primary source of error. To address this, a multi-objective optimization algorithm, grounded in the Pareto improvement principle, is proposed. This algorithm is designed to optimize instrument placement, thereby minimizing measurement errors and enhancing the algorithm's efficacy in error reduction. Thereby, this article proved that positioning the laser tracker consistently on one side of the measurement area and aligning its height with the measuring points can effectively reduce the uncertainty of control point errors by up to 50%.

An MRI-guided stereotactic neurosurgical robotic system for semi-enclosed head coils.

J Robot Surg

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.

Article Synopsis
  • The article addresses the challenge of image positioning accuracy in high-resolution cameras caused by environmental disturbances and line-of-sight variations during operation.
  • It proposes a real-time monitoring system (LoS Var RTMS) that integrates a high-resolution camera with a star tracker and utilizes laser technology to improve calibration and accuracy.
  • To counteract issues with stray light affecting the system's performance, a new analysis method is introduced alongside a polarization filtering mechanism designed to minimize the impact of stray light, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the monitoring system.

Purpose: To test on humans an eye tracker based on the use of a contact lens with active infrared sources and to evaluate whether this system can track the eye behind the eyelid.

Methods: The system is made up of a scleral contact lens embedding two vertical cavity self-emitting lasers (VCSELs) remotely driven by eyewear comprised of electronics and cameras. Tests on humans were carried out on five subjects to assess performance and to determine whether the VCSEL spot could be detected behind the eyelid.
