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…
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…
RetiGen: A Framework for Generalized Retinal Diagnosis Using Multi-View Fundus Images

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…
Deep Homography Prediction for Endoscopic Camera Motion Imitation Learning
Martin Huber, Sebastien Ourselin, Christos Bergeles +1
In this work, we investigate laparoscopic camera motion automation through imitation learning from retrospective videos of laparoscopic interventions. A novel method is introduced…
OpTaS: An Optimization-based Task Specification Library for Trajectory Optimization and Model Predictive Control
Christopher E. Mower, João Moura, Nazanin Zamani Behabadi +3
This paper presents OpTaS, a task specification Python library for Trajectory Optimization (TO) and Model Predictive Control (MPC) in robotics. Both TO and MPC are increasingly rec…
ROS-PyBullet Interface: A Framework for Reliable Contact Simulation and Human-Robot Interaction
Christopher E. Mower, Theodoros Stouraitis, João Moura +7
Reliable contact simulation plays a key role in the development of (semi-)autonomous robots, especially when dealing with contact-rich manipulation scenarios, an active robotics re…
Deep Homography Estimation in Dynamic Surgical Scenes for Laparoscopic Camera Motion Extraction
Martin Huber, Sébastien Ourselin, Christos Bergeles +1
