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…
ROBUST-MIPS: A Combined Skeletal Pose and Instance Segmentation Dataset for Laparoscopic Surgical Instruments
Zhe Han, Charlie Budd, Gongyu Zhang +3
Localisation of surgical tools constitutes a foundational building block for computer-assisted interventional technologies. Works in this field typically focus on training deep lea…
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…
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…
