Efforts made under this NRI-CSA grant include a variety of improvements to existing software repositories and creation of new code bases that are publicly available to facilitate the development of future surgical robotic systems. 

 

Main efforts made under this grant can be categorized in 3 main categories of software:

  1. CISST repositories (cisst): Much of the software development in this project has been based on pre-existing open-source libraries developed at JHU and elsewhere.  Follow this link to find the most recent versions of these libraries.
  2. SAW updates: new software Interface modules for 3rd Party devices (sensing and Haptic Devices)
  3. Extension of the SAW-based da Vinci Research Kit repositories 
  4. Simulink Real-time Commander for dVRK robots and its documentation wiki.
  5. Simulink Real-time control of an XYZ cartesian stage robot.

See the links above for details on each of the main thrusts of code.
