Bruns T, Riojas K, Labadie R, Webster Iii R
IEEE Trans Biomed Eng . 2021 Aug; 69(2):718-724. PMID: 34379586
Objective: Surgeons have no direct objective feedback on cochlear-implant electrode array (EA) positioning during insertion, yet optimal hearing outcomes are contingent on placing the EA as close as feasible to...

Wellborn P, Russell P, Webster Iii R
Int J Comput Assist Radiol Surg . 2019 Jul; 15(1):69-74. PMID: 31292925
Purpose: This short communication describes experimental evaluation of a new granular jamming cap (GJC) recently introduced in Wellborn et al. (Int J Comput Assist Radiol Surg 12(6):1069-1077, 2017). The contributions...

Riojas K, Anderson P, Lathrop R, Herrell S, Rucker D, Webster Iii R
IEEE Trans Biomed Eng . 2019 Mar; 66(11):3176-3184. PMID: 30835205
Objective: This paper describes a surgical device that provides both wrist and elbow dexterity without motors or electronics. The device provides dexterity advantages in minimally invasive surgery typically associated with...

Su H, Li G, Rucker D, Webster Iii R, Fischer G
Ann Biomed Eng . 2016 Mar; 44(10):2863-2873. PMID: 26983842
This paper presents the design, modeling and experimental evaluation of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-compatible concentric tube continuum robotic system. This system enables MRI-guided deployment of a precurved and steerable...

Anderson P, Lathrop R, Webster Iii R
Expert Rev Med Devices . 2016 Jan; 13(7):661-72. PMID: 26808896
Introduction: Conventional manual laparoscopic instruments for minimally invasive surgery have limited dexterity within the patient, making procedures challenging. Surgical robotic systems offer enhanced articulation, but at substantial financial costs. This...

Rucker D, Webster Iii R
IEEE Trans Biomed Eng . 2009 Jun; 56(9):2308-11. PMID: 19535313
Dexterous at small diameters, continuum robots consisting of precurved concentric tubes are well-suited for minimally invasive surgery. These active cannulas are actuated by relative translations and rotations applied at the...

Boctor E, Choti M, Burdette E, Webster Iii R
Int J Med Robot . 2008 Apr; 4(2):180-91. PMID: 18433079
Background: Clinical use of image-guided needle placement robots has lagged behind laboratory-demonstrated robotic capability. Bridging this gap requires reliable and easy-to-use robotic systems. Methods: Our system for image-guided needle placement...
