Active manipulation of light beams is required for a range of emerging optical technologies, including sensing, optical computing, virtual/augmented reality, dynamic holography, and computational imaging.
This highly instrumented laryngoscope measures intubation mechanics such as force and torque to quantitatively track how a laryngoscope is being inserted.
Near-infrared (NIR) imaging is a valuable research tool that produces quality images with high spatial and temporal resolution through millimeter tissue depths.
Stanford researchers are developing an improved prophylactic against pancreatitis caused by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), by targeting two key inflammatory pathways.
Stanford researchers in the Camarillo Lab have patented a model-less, robotic position-control technique that regulates force. The controller simultaneously controls position and applied forces of the manipulator as it moves through a workspace, without requiring a model.
An interdisciplinary team of Stanford researchers is developing a dual axis confocal (“DAC”) microscope system for in vivo imaging of tissues at the cellular scale.
Stanford researchers have developed a patented method for precisely controlling the force exerted by a permanent magnet for use in medical systems. This system is ideally suited for applications such as robotic catheter placement and endoscopy capsule manipulation.
Stanford researchers in the CamLab have patented a robust, task-space closed-loop controller for continuum manipulators that can be used in constrained environments and does not rely on a model.
A team of Stanford engineers have developed a fast adaptive optics system for scanning, 3D imaging and sensing with a small (50 µm) multimode fiber (MMF).
Precision in surgical removal of cancer is guided by pathological assessment of resected tissues, and there is a dire need to reduce the time and distance between the critical diagnostic events and the surgical procedure.
