Online estimation of the hand-eye transformation from surgical scenes
Krittin Pachtrachai, Francisco Vasconcelos, Danail Stoyanov
Hand-eye calibration algorithms are mature and provide accurate transformation estimations for an effective camera-robot link but rely on a sufficiently wide range of calibration d…
Local Path Planning among Pushable Objects based on Reinforcement Learning
Linghong Yao, Valerio Modugno, Andromachi Maria Delfaki +3
In this paper, we introduce a method to deal with the problem of robot local path planning among pushable objects -- an open problem in robotics. In particular, we achieve that by…
Autonomous object harvesting using synchronized optoelectronic microrobots
Christopher Bendkowski, Laurent Mennillo, Tao Xu +9
Optoelectronic tweezer-driven microrobots (OETdMs) are a versatile micromanipulation technology based on the use of light induced dielectrophoresis to move small dielectric structu…
Weakly Supervised Recognition of Surgical Gestures
Beatrice van Amsterdam, Hirenkumar Nakawala, Elena De Momi +1
Kinematic trajectories recorded from surgical robots contain information about surgical gestures and potentially encode cues about surgeon's skill levels. Automatic segmentation of…
Affordable Mobile-based Simulator for Robotic Surgery
Piyamate Wisanuvej, Petros Giataganas, Paul Riordan +2
Robotic surgery and novel surgical instrumentation present great potentials towards safer, more accurate and consistent minimally invasive surgery. However, their adoption is depen…
Automated pick-up of suturing needles for robotic surgical assistance
Claudia D'Ettorre, George Dwyer, Xiaofei Du +4
Robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) is a treatment for prostate cancer that involves complete or nerve sparing removal prostate tissue that contains cancer. After remo…
