Stroke, or blockages of bloodflow in the body, is one of the leading causes of death in the United States, and must be treated quickly to prevent long-term patient disability or or death . A significant challenge is a shortage of trained surgeons who can intervene in a timely manner, especially in rural or underserved areas. To address this, we aim to develop a haptically-enabled surgical platform that can be remotely controlled by a surgeon, while retaining and improving critical sources of information such as visual and tactile feedback, which are critical to this type of procedure. We are also working toward improving visualization techniques to allow 3D patient anatomy to be rendered in real time in response to interactions by tools. This work is a collaboration with the Computational Engineering and Robotics Lab (CERLab) at Carnegie Mellon University.
