In this video, we discuss Path Planning for Robotic Needle Systems, a crucial component of robotic-assisted interventions like biopsies and minimally invasive surgeries. Designed for researchers, engineers, and medical professionals, this video covers:

Challenges of robotic needle path planning: tissue deformation, obstacles, and constraints
Key techniques for needle path optimization, including soft-tissue modeling
Algorithms such as Rapidly-Exploring Random Trees (RRT), Probabilistic Roadmaps (PRM), and FEM-based methods
