Minimally invasive endonasal transsphenoidal surgery involves grinding away sphenoidal bone in the nasal cavity to reach the pituitary tumors. The procedure carries serious risk of injury to the carotid arteries. Muyinatu Bell, a postdoctoral fellow in the LCSR, recently received the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB)’s prestigious Pathway to Independence Award to […]
Mehran Armand was Co-PI of the team that developed the CAPE System: “Computer-Assisted Craniomaxillofacial Surgery” which was recently recognized as a 2015 TechConnect Innovation Awardee. The technology is a novel computer-assisted surgical planning and intra-operative navigation system for use in craniofacial surgery and face-jaw-teeth transplantation. This system offers many advantages, including real-time cephalometric analysis and […]
Russell Taylor, the John C. Malone Professor in the Department of Computer Science, and Peter Kazanzides, a research professor in that department, made presentations at the Robotically-Assisted Surgical Devices (RASD) Workshop hosted by the Food and Drug Administration in July 2015. Taylor spoke about the “Essential Performance Characteristics of RASD,” and Kazanzides discussed the issues […]
The Computational Sensing and Medical Robotics Research Experience for Undergraduates program was held from late May through the end of July this year. Eleven students participated in the program and worked on challenging research projects. In addition to working closely with faculty mentors and graduate student mentors on their research, the students also learned about […]
Russell Taylor, director of the LCSR and John C. Malone Professor in the Department of Computer Science, received the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society’s Technical Field Award for his contributions and leadership in the field of medical robotics from the organization’s 37th Annual International Conference on August 26 in Milano, Italy. Taylor earned […]
Nassir Navab, a professor in the Department of Computer Science, has won the “10 Years Lasting Impact Award” at the International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality. He was honored for overall contributions to augmented reality, with a particular focus on medical augmented reality. Get the story.
Smart cars, agriculture drones and intelligent devices that assist the elderly in their homes are all part of the “robot revolution” — and the focus of Greg Chirikjian’s day job as program director of the National Science Foundation’s National Robotics Initiative. A professor of mechanical engineering at Johns Hopkins University for the last 23 years, […]
Russell H. Taylor, a Johns Hopkins professor who is widely hailed as the father of medical robotics, has been selected to receive the 2015 Honda Prize. The selection was announced Sept. 28 by the Honda Foundation, which initiated this honor in 1980 as Japan’s first international science and technology award. The Honda Foundation, based in […]
How do you keep track of where you are as you walk through a known environment, such as your house or a shopping mall? To study this question, Mechanical Engineering professor Noah Cowan and Neuroscience professor James Knierim were selected to receive a 2015 Johns Hopkins Discovery Award. Their proposed study, entitled “Engineering Approaches to […]
The Department of Mechanical Engineering is pleased to welcome Dr. Chen Li who will join the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Laboratory for Computational Sensing and Robotics as Assistant Professor in Winter 2015-2016. Beginning this summer Dr. Li will hold interim appointment as Assistant Research Professor in ME while he completes his postdoctoral research at […]
