Abstract
Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure wherein a catheter (a thermoplastic hollow wire) is inserted into the femoral artery and guided till it reaches a blockage in the blood vessel. There could be some potential complications arising from the conventional way of performing angioplasty, e.g., damage to the blood vessel due to excessive force of insertion and exposure of clinicians to harmful radiations and/or high levels of noise from an MRI machine. In this paper, we investigate the use of a robot manipulator (Mitsubishi PA 10-7C) to aid in the insertion of a catheter into a blood vessel. The robot controls the insertion force while the surgeon can remotely operate the robot from a safe and comfortable environment. The paper describes a hybrid impedance control scheme implemented on the Mitsubishi robot to perform simultaneous force/position control. The robot is used in experiments to insert a catheter into a test-bed by controlling the force of insertion and preventing the catheter from buckling or "bunching up". Experimental results for the insertion algorithms are shown

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
