Progressive Experience Fusion for Multi-Task World Model Control in Endovascular Navigation
Harry Robertshaw, Maxence Boels, Nikola Fischer +4
Autonomous endovascular navigation could support the delivery of mechanical thrombectomy to underserved areas, but controllers must navigate long, multi-stage paths across varying…
UltraFlwr -- An Efficient Federated Surgical Object Detection Framework
Yang Li, Soumya Snigdha Kundu, Maxence Boels +6
Surgical object detection in laparoscopic videos enables real-time instrument identification for workflow analysis and skills assessment, but training robust models such as You Onl…
DARIL: When Imitation Learning outperforms Reinforcement Learning in Surgical Action Planning
Maxence Boels, Harry Robertshaw, Thomas C Booth +3
Surgical action planning requires predicting future instrument-verb-target triplets for real-time assistance. While teleoperated robotic surgery provides natural expert demonstrati…
SWAG: Long-term Surgical Workflow Prediction with Generative-based Anticipation
Maxence Boels, Yang Liu, Prokar Dasgupta +2
While existing approaches excel at recognising current surgical phases, they provide limited foresight and intraoperative guidance into future procedural steps. Similarly, current…
