Streamlining stereo differentiable rendering for marker-free real-time tracking of surgical robots
Yanghe Hao, Martin Huber, Christos Bergeles +1
Purpose: Marker-based tracking of surgical robots is occlusion-prone in cluttered operating rooms. We evaluate stereo differentiable rendering for marker-free, real-time robot pose…
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…
Vision and Contact based Optimal Control for Autonomous Trocar Docking
Christopher E. Mower, Martin Huber, Huanyu Tian +4
Future operating theatres will be equipped with robots to perform various surgical tasks including, for example, endoscope control. Human-in-the-loop supervisory control architectu…
Semi-Autonomous Laparoscopic Robot Docking with Learned Hand-Eye Information Fusion
Huanyu Tian, Martin Huber, Christopher E. Mower +4
In this study, we introduce a novel shared-control system for key-hole docking operations, combining a commercial camera with occlusion-robust pose estimation and a hand-eye inform…
Excitation Trajectory Optimization for Dynamic Parameter Identification Using Virtual Constraints in Hands-on Robotic System
Huanyu Tian, Martin Huber, Christopher E. Mower +4
This paper proposes a novel, more computationally efficient method for optimizing robot excitation trajectories for dynamic parameter identification, emphasizing self-collision avo…
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…
2020 CATARACTS Semantic Segmentation Challenge
Imanol Luengo, Maria Grammatikopoulou, Rahim Mohammadi +37
Surgical scene segmentation is essential for anatomy and instrument localization which can be further used to assess tissue-instrument interactions during a surgical procedure. In…
