Streamlining stereo differentiable rendering for marker-free real-time tracking of surgical robots
Yanghe Hao, Martin Huber, Christos Bergeles +1
The paper introduces a stereo differentiable rendering approach for marker‑free, real‑time tracking of surgical robot poses, achieving 1080p video at 30 fps with accuracy comparabl…
Learning From a Steady Hand: A Weakly Supervised Agent for Robot Assistance under Microscopy
Huanyu Tian, Martin Huber, Lingyun Zeng +7
This paper rethinks steady-hand robotic manipulation by using a weakly supervised framework that fuses calibration-aware perception with admittance control. Unlike conventional aut…
Localising under the drape: proprioception in the era of distributed surgical robotic system
Martin Huber, Nicola A. Cavalcanti, Ayoob Davoodi +15
Despite their mechanical sophistication, surgical robots remain blind to their surroundings. This lack of spatial awareness causes collisions, system recoveries, and workflow disru…
Hydra: Marker-Free RGB-D Hand-Eye Calibration
Martin Huber, Huanyu Tian, Christopher E. Mower +4
This work presents an RGB-D imaging-based approach to marker-free hand-eye calibration using a novel implementation of the iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm with a robust poi…
Evaluating Robotic Approach Techniques for the Insertion of a Straight Instrument into a Vitreoretinal Surgery Trocar
Ross Henry, Martin Huber, Anestis Mablekos-Alexiou +5
Advances in vitreoretinal robotic surgery enable precise techniques for gene therapies. This study evaluates three robotic approaches using the 7-DoF robotic arm for docking a micr…
LBR-Stack: ROS 2 and Python Integration of KUKA FRI for Med and IIWA Robots
Martin Huber, Christopher E. Mower, Sebastien Ourselin +2
The LBR-Stack is a collection of packages that simplify the usage and extend the capabilities of KUKA's Fast Robot Interface (FRI). It is designed for mission critical hard real-ti…
