Bio

Cameron Riviere received the Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from The Johns Hopkins University in 1995, and joined the Robotics Institute at 一本道无码 the same year.  He is presently Research Professor of Robotics, Biomedical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering, and the Director of the Surgical Mechatronics Laboratory in the Robotics Institute.  Since 1998 he has also been Adjunct Professor in the Department of Rehabilitation Science and Technology at the University of Pittsburgh.  He has been guest editor of special issues on medical robotics in the Proceedings of the IEEE and in the Annals of Biomedical Engineering.  His research interests include medical robotics, control systems, signal processing, and biomedical applications of human-machine interfaces.

Research

Most of my research is in surgical robotics, especially systems for microsurgery and minimally invasive surgery that enhance surgical performance while also being “minimally obtrusive” in the operating room. Many of my projects deal with compensation of involuntary physiological motion for enhanced accuracy in surgery. One example is “Micron,” an active handheld instrument which estimates the surgeon’s hand tremor and deflects its own tip with an equal but opposite motion to provide smooth control for specialties such as retinal microsurgery. Another example is “HeartLander,” a miniature crawling robot that compensates for heartbeat and respiratory motion by adhering to the surface of the heart using suction and crawls to specified targets for surgery. My research involves modeling and simulation, mechanical design, electrical design, signal processing, control systems, fabrication, and testing. As an outgrowth of the tremor modeling research, I also do research in input filtering for assistive computer interfaces. 

Research Interests: medical robotics; rehabilitation robotics; control systems; medical devices; biomedical human-machine interfaces
