Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for tracking an elongate instrument or other medical instrument in an image.

Abstract: Techniques for facilitating the removal of material from an anatomical structure with a robotic system are discussed herein. For example, the robotic system can include a first robotic component configured to control movement of a first device and a second robotic component configured to control movement of a second device. The first device and the second device can be controlled within a chamber of the anatomical structure to remove material from the chamber. For instance, the first device can be controlled to emit energy to break up the material into pieces and the second device can be controlled to remove the pieces from the chamber. In some cases, the first device can be controlled to gradually vary a parameter associated with the first device between a first value and a second value.

Abstract: An energy delivery system and methods for an ablation procedure may include a generator configured to generate an electrical signal having an operating frequency for an ablation operation and an ablation probe coupled to the generator and configured to receive the electrical signal from the generator. The ablation probe may include a flexible body portion including an inner conductor, an outer conductor, and a dielectric between the inner and outer conductors. The ablation probe may further include a radiating portion electrically coupled to the inner conductor, where the radiating portion is configured to radiate energy received from the electrical signal. A length of the radiating portion may be between 0.35 and 0.65 times an operating wavelength, where the operating wavelength is dependent on the operating frequency of the electrical signal.

Abstract: Systems and processes for facilitating the removal of material with a robotically assisted tool with laser, irrigation capabilities, aspiration capabilities. Tool guidance systems that make use of vision technologies, including optical coherence tomography (OCT), white light imaging, and structured light imaging. Emulsification patterns optimized to minimize risk to the patient and reduce procedure time. Robotic tools with articulation capabilities that allow for precise control during capsulorhexis and emulsification procedures. Robotic instrument drive mechanisms combined with pumps, flow meters, and valves regulate and control irrigation and aspiration functionalities during robotic ophthalmologic procedures.

Abstract: An endolumenal robotic system provides the surgeon with the ability to drive a robotically-driven endoscopic device to a desired anatomical position in a patient without the need for awkward motions and positions, while also enjoying improved image quality from a digital camera mounted on the endoscopic device.

Abstract: An input device includes a plurality of orientation blocks each representing a portion of a catheter assembly and a controller configured to determine an orientation of the plurality of orientation blocks relative to one another. The controller is further configured to output a control signal that causes a tip of a catheter assembly to adopt the orientation determined by the controller. A system includes an actuator configured to manipulate a position and orientation of the catheter assembly. The controller of the input device is configured to output a control signal to the actuator to make a tip of a catheter assembly adopt the orientation determined by the controller. The input device can be virtually represented on a computing device.
