Industrial robotics are redefining inspection and maintenance routines across multiple sectors, enhancing safety, efficiency, and environmental sustainability. In outdoor industrial facilities, it is crucial to inspect and repair complex…
Super-Resolution Ultrasound (SRUS) imaging through localising and tracking microbubbles, also known as Ultrasound Localisation Microscopy (ULM), has demonstrated significant potential for reconstructing microvasculature and flows with…
To address the lack of access to ultrasound in remote communities, previous work introduced human teleoperation, a mixed reality and haptics-based tele-ultrasound system. In this approach, a novice takes the role of a cognitive robot…
As a result of an increasingly automatized and digitized industry, processes are becoming more complex. Augmented Reality has shown considerable potential in assisting workers with complex tasks by enhancing user understanding and…
Endoluminal surgery offers a minimally invasive option for early-stage gastrointestinal and urinary tract cancers but is limited by surgical tools and a steep learning curve. Robotic systems, particularly continuum robots, provide flexible…
Finding obstacle-free paths in unknown environments is a big navigation issue for visually impaired people and autonomous robots. Previous works focus on obstacle avoidance, however they do not have a general view of the environment they…
Volume visualization is a method that displays three-dimensional (3D) data in two-dimensional (2D) space. Using 3D datasets instead of 2D traditional images improves the visualization of anatomical structures, and volume visualization helps…
There is a growing need to assist radiologists in performing X-ray readings and diagnoses fast, comfortably, and effectively. As radiologists strive to maximize productivity, it is essential to consider the impact of reading rooms in…
Purpose. Ability to locate and track ultrasound images in the 3D operating space is of great benefit for multiple clinical applications. This is often accomplished by tracking the probe using a precise but expensive optical or…
Abstract Background During percutaneous puncture robotic surgical navigation, the needle insertion point is positioned on the patient's chest and abdomen body surface. By locating any point on the soft skin tissue, it is difficult to apply…
One of the major challenges in Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) such as laparoscopy is the lack of depth perception. In recent years, laparoscopic scene tracking and surface reconstruction has been a focus of investigation to provide rich…
Recent advancements in retinal surgery have paved the way for a modern operating room equipped with a surgical robot, a microscope, and intraoperative optical coherence tomography (iOCT)- a depth sensor widely used in retinal surgery.…
Ultrasound (US) is widely accessible and radiation-free but has a steep learning curve due to its dynamic nature and non-standard imaging planes. Additionally, the constant need to shift focus between the US screen and the patient poses a…
The diffusion of minimally invasive, endovascular interventions motivates the development of visualization methods for complex vascular networks. We propose a planar representation of blood vessel trees which preserves the properties that…
Navigating the ultrasound (US) probe to the standardized imaging plane (SIP) for image acquisition is a critical but operator-dependent task in conventional freehand diagnostic US. Robotic US systems (RUSS) offer the potential to enhance…
