Multimodal Progress-Residual Fusion for Anticipating Navigation Retreat in Robotic Flexible Endoscopy
Chi Kit Ng, Tianchun Wu, Jiatan Sun +3
Flexible robotic endoscopes provide access through tortuous anatomy, where friction, deformation, and wall interaction separate commanded insertion from useful distal progress. Ope…
StenoVLA-3D: 3D-Aware Reasoning VLA for Navigation Through Gastrointestinal Stenoses
Tamima Tabassum, Yiming Huang, Tianchun Wu +7
Autonomous endoscopic navigation requires the policy model to predict actions from texture-poor monocular observations, make safe control decisions, and retain evidence of lesions…
Jacobian Exploratory Dual-Phase Reinforcement Learning for Dynamic Endoluminal Navigation of Deformable Continuum Robots
Yu Tian, Chi Kit Ng, Hongliang Ren
Deformable continuum robots (DCRs) present unique planning challenges due to nonlinear deformation mechanics and partial state observability, violating the Markov assumptions of co…
Contact-Aided Navigation of Flexible Robotic Endoscope Using Deep Reinforcement Learning in Dynamic Stomach
Chi Kit Ng, Huxin Gao, Tian-Ao Ren +2
Navigating a flexible robotic endoscope (FRE) through the gastrointestinal tract is critical for surgical diagnosis and treatment. However, navigation in the dynamic stomach is par…
Deep Reinforcement Learning in Surgical Robotics: Enhancing the Automation Level
Cheng Qian, Hongliang Ren
Surgical robotics is a rapidly evolving field that is transforming the landscape of surgeries. Surgical robots have been shown to enhance precision, minimize invasiveness, and alle…
