This CPS research aims to enable intelligent telesurgery in which a surgeon, or a distributed team of surgeons, can work on tiny regions in the body with minimal access.

This reseach aims to build an open source Medical Device Coordination Framework (MDCF) for automatimg the coordination of integrated/networked medical devices in a clinical context.

The objective of this research is to develop new principles for creating and comparing models of skilled human activities, and to apply those models to systems for teaching, training, and assisting humans performing these activities. The models investigated will include both hybrid systems and language-based models. The research will focus on modeling surgical manipulations during robotic minimally invasive surgery.

The objective of this research is to develop an intuitive user interface for functional electrical stimulation (FES), which uses surgically-implanted electrodes to stimulate muscles in spinal cord-injured (SCI) patients. The challenge is to enable high-level tetraplegic patients to regain the use of their own arm.
