It has been more than 20 years that robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RMIS) has brought remarkable accuracy and dexterity for surgeons along with the decreasing trauma for the patients. In this paper a novel method of the tissue’s surface profile mapping is proposed. The tissue surface profile plays an important role for material identification during RMIS. It is shown how by integrating the force feedback into robot controller the surface profile of the tissue can be obtained with force feedback scanning. The experiment setup includes a 5 degree of freedoms (DOFs) robot which is equipped with a strain-gauge ball caster as the force feedback. Robot joint encoders signals and the captured force signal of the strain-gauge are transferred to developed surface transformation algorithm (STA). The real-time geometrical transformation process is triggered with force signal to identify contact points between the ball caster and the artificial tissue. The 2D surface profile of tissue will be mapped based on these contact points. Real-time capability of the proposed system is evaluated experimentally for the artifical tissues in a designed test rig.

Optogenetics is an emerging method that uses light to manipulate electrical activity in excitable cells exploiting the interaction between light and light-sensitive depolarizing ion channels, such as channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2). Initially used in the neuroscience, it has been adopted in cardiac research where the expression of ChR2 in cardiac preparations allows optical pacing, resynchronization and defibrillation. Recently, optogenetics has been leveraged to manipulate cardiac electrical activity in the intact heart in real-time. This new approach was applied to simulate a re-entrant circuit across the ventricle. In this technical note, we describe the development and the implementation of a new software package for real-time optogenetic intervention. The package consists of a single LabVIEW program that simultaneously captures images at very high frame rates and delivers precisely timed optogenetic stimuli based on the content of the images. The software implementation guarantees closed-loop optical manipulation at high temporal resolution by processing the raw data in workstation memory. We demonstrate that this strategy allows the simulation of a ventricular tachycardia with high stability and with a negligible loss of data with a temporal resolution of up to 1 ms.

Bound states of femtosecond solitons are generated and controlled in a commercial sub-10 fs Kerr-lens mode-locked ultrashort oscillator. Using real-time time-stretch interferometry, we resolve the resonance of vibrating soliton molecules and demonstrate all-optical switching between stable bound-states of different binding distance.
