IPAB Workshop: Continuum Robots as Steerable Needles: Shape Sensing and Control

The next IPAB Workshop is due to take place on Thursday 2nd December at 1pm. Mohsen Kadem will be speaking.  The zoom details can be found in the corresponding email.

Title: Continuum Robots as Steerable Needles: Shape Sensing and Control

Abstract: In this talk, I will briefly discuss our recent work on Shape Sensing and Control of continuum robots with application in surgical interventions, specifically in needle-based lung sampling and minimally invasive bone fusion. This talk focuses on: (1) How to estimate the shape of a flexible robot using single-point measurements, (2) Data-driven steering of the robot in an unknown environment.
