**Last updated: Date and time**


======Summary======
Enter a short narrative description here

  * **Students:** Syed Hossain, Bugrahan Cigdemoglu
  * **Mentor(s):** Yunus, Dr. Taylor, Dr. Akst



======Background, Specific Aims, and Significance======
A paragraph or so here.  Give background of the problem. Explicitly state specific aims (numbered list is good) and explain why they are important

======Deliverables======
 
  * **Minimum:** (Expected by when?)
    - Study design for surgery, data collection and analysis
    - Questionnaire design for tremor, efficiency (time), and tissue damage
    - Videotape of surgical experiments on animal vocal cord conducted by experts with and without robotic assistance
    - Results and analysis of the questionnaire filled by experts

  * **Expected:** (Expected by date)
    - Simple video analysis algorithm using Matlab/Python to quantify tremor in vocal cyst removal surgery videotape
    - Videotape of surgical experiments on animal vocal cord conducted by med students with and without robotic assistance
    - Results and analysis of the questionnaire filled by experts
    - Results of tremor analysis in all videotapes using the algorithm

  * **Maximum:** (Expected by date)
    - Virtual fixture algorithm
    - Study design for conducting robotically-assisted surgery with virtual fixtures
    - Videotape robotically-assisted surgical experiments with virtual fixtures on the phantom conducted by experts
    - Comparison of questionnaire and tremor analysis results of non-assisted, robotically-assisted with no virtual fixtures, and robotically-assisted with virtual fixtures surgeries on the phantom
