MISTac: A Vision-Based Tactile Sensor for Minimally Invasive Surgery
Robin Koch, Annabella Mascot, Rayan Younis +5
Minimally invasive and robot-assisted surgery offer many advantages over traditional open surgery, but deprive surgeons of tactile feedback and the ability to palpate tissue with t…
Point Cloud Segmentation for Autonomous Clip Positioning in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy on a Phantom
Balázs Gyenes, Nikolai Franke, Paul Maria Scheikl +5
High-risk applications in robotics, such as robot-assisted surgery, present unique challenges. These systems must be both highly precise and interpretable in order to be deployed i…
