The da Vinci Research Kit (dVRK) is an open-source mechatronics platform for robotic surgery. For this grant, we did a number of re-design and reimplementation steps to ease integration of NRI CSA algorithms into that framework. Further, we developed new components using class derivation, dynamic loading, ROS and socket-based distributed architectures.
