First integration experiments of the System for Minimally
Insvasive Surgery of the upper Airways
On December 20-23rd, 2005, Kai Xu visited the ERC-CISST at Johns
Hopkins University where he conducted integration experiments together
with Ankur Kapoor and
Professor R. Taylor. Integration of our first prototype of the
snake-like robot with a detachable parallel tip and a gripper together
with a 6 DoF LARS robot and a DaVinci master console was successful in
demonstrating basic suturing capabilities. Below you can see
some updated pictures of the system. A major part of the integration
was carried by Ankur Kapoor who programmed the DaVinci master console.
