    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting motion of soft tissue are provided. An illustrative method is described to include attaching a flexible material to an object, where the flexible material includes one or more tracking markers distributed thereon and where the object includes soft tissue. The method is also disclosed to include obtaining a first image of the object that includes the one or more tracking markers in a first position, obtaining a second image of the object that includes the one or more tracking markers in a second position, and determining a motion of the soft tissue based on a comparison of the one or more tracking markers in the first position with the one or more tracking markers in the second position.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for tracking a pose of a target and/or tracking the target is provided. A first robotic arm may be configured to orient a first imaging device and a second robotic arm may be configured to orient a second imaging device. The first robotic arm and the second robotic arm may operate in a shared or common coordinate space. A first image may be received from the first imaging device and a second image may be received from the second imaging device. The first image and the second image may depict at least one target. A pose of the at least one target may be determined in the coordinate space based on the first image, a corresponding first pose, the second image, and a corresponding second pose.

    Abstract: An in-situ fusion system includes at least one robotic arm; a bioprinter; a polymerization tool; at least one processor; and a memory storing instructions for execution by the at least one processor. The instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to: control the at least one robotic arm to prepare at least two bone surfaces to support cellular growth; cause the bioprinter to print, from a scaffold material, a scaffold between the at least two bone surfaces; and cause the polymerization tool to induce the scaffold material to polymerize.

    Abstract: A method of generating a virtual MRI image includes receiving an initial MRI image of a patient in a first position, the initial MRI image depicting at least a portion of an anatomy of the patient; receiving a plurality of images of the patient in a second position, each of the plurality of images depicting at least a plurality of bony elements within the portion of the patient's anatomy; receiving soft tissue information corresponding to at least a plurality of soft tissue elements within the portion of the patient's anatomy; segmenting the initial MRI image to identify a depiction of each of the plurality of bony elements and each of the plurality of soft tissue elements within the initial MRI image; and generating a virtual MRI image based on the MRI image, the plurality of images, and the soft tissue information.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring a surgical procedure are provided. A coordinate system of a first robotic arm and a second robotic arm may be co-registered or correlated to each other. One or more poses of an imaging device may be determined to provide real-time intraoperative imaging of a region of interest during a surgical procedure. Anatomical elements may be identified in the real-time images of the region of interest from which a surgical tool should maintain a predetermined distance. The surgical tool may be prevented from approaching the identified anatomical elements by less than a predetermined distance using the co-registration of the coordinate systems.

    Abstract: A system for endoscopic surgery, comprising a first robotic arm defining the pose of an endoscopic camera, a second robotic arm defining the pose of a surgical end effector, and an irrigation nozzle configured to inject fluid under a predetermined pressure into a preselected tissue region, to generate a cavity at a surgical site. The cavity enables the camera to take images of the features of the surgical site. A controller is used to control both robotic arms, such that the pose of the endoscopic camera and the pose of the surgical end effector are known to the controller. The camera can then acquire intraoperative images of the cavity, such that an endoscopic operation can be performed in the cavity with the surgical end effector guided using the intraoperative images. Anatomic features imaged intraoperatively by the camera can be identified from preoperative images, using image registration.
