Billions of vascular access procedures are performed annually worldwide, serving as a crucial first step in various clinical diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. For pediatric or elderly individuals, whose vessels are small in size…
Robotic-assisted procedures offer numerous advantages over traditional approaches, including improved dexterity, reduced fatigue, minimized trauma, and superior outcomes. However, the main challenge of these systems remains the poor…
Histopathology, the microscopic study of diseased tissue, is increasingly digitized, enabling improved visualization and streamlined workflows. An important task in histopathology is the segmentation of cells and glands, essential for…
Surgical suturing is a high-precision task that impacts patient healing and scarring. Suturing skill varies widely between surgeons, highlighting the need for robot assistance. Previous robot suturing works, such as STITCH 1.0 [1], struggle…
A particular type of assistive robots designed for physical interaction with objects could play an important role assisting with mobility and fall prevention in healthcare facilities. Autonomous mobile manipulation presents a hurdle prior…
This paper introduces a new method for safety-aware robot learning, focusing on repairing policies using predictive models. Our method combines behavioral cloning with neural network repair in a two-step supervised learning framework. It…
Optically transparent wound dressings offer a range of potential applications in the biomedical field, as they allow for the monitoring of wound healing progress without having to replace the dressing. These dressings must be impermeable to…
Robotic assistance has significantly improved the outcomes of open microsurgery and rigid endoscopic surgery, however is yet to make an impact in flexible endoscopic neurosurgery. Some of the most common intracranial procedures for…
Data cleaning consumes about 80% of the time spent on data analysis for clinical research projects. This is a much bigger problem in the era of big data and machine learning in the field of medicine where large volumes of data are being…
Diabetic retinopathy is one of the leading causes of preventable blindness in the world. Its earliest sign are red lesions, a general term that groups both microaneurysms and hemorrhages. In daily clinical practice, these lesions are…
Lesion Segmentation in PET/CT scans is an essential part of modern oncological workflows. To address the challenges of time-intensive manual annotation and high inter-observer variability, the autoPET challenge series seeks to advance…
Studying the peeling behaviour of adhesives on skin is vital for advancing biomedical applications such as medical adhesives and transdermal patches. Traditional methods like experimental testing and finite element method (FEM), though…
Purpose: Central venous catheterization (CVC) is a critical medical procedure for vascular access, hemodynamic monitoring, and life-saving interventions. Its success remains challenging due to the need for continuous ultrasound-guided…
Hemorrhaging occurs in surgeries of all types, forcing surgeons to quickly adapt to the visual interference that results from blood rapidly filling the surgical field. Introducing automation into the crucial surgical task of hemostasis…
Understanding the causes and patient impacts of surgical adverse events will help improve systems and operational practices to avoid incidents in the future. We analyzed the adverse events data related to robotic systems and instruments…
The increasing deployment of robots has significantly enhanced the automation levels across a wide and diverse range of industries. This paper investigates the automation challenges of laser-based dermatology procedures in the beauty…
Placing objects is a fundamental task for domestic service robots (DSRs). Thus, inferring the collision-risk before a placing motion is crucial for achieving the requested task. This problem is particularly challenging because it is…
Robotic-assisted dressing has the potential to significantly aid both patients as well as healthcare personnel, reducing the workload and improving the efficiency in clinical settings. While substantial progress has been made in robotic…
Tissue manipulation is a frequently used fundamental subtask of any surgical procedures, and in some cases it may require the involvement of a surgeon's assistant. The complex dynamics of soft tissue as an unstructured environment is one of…
Robotic surgery offers enhanced precision and adaptability, paving the way for automation in surgical interventions. Cholecystectomy, the gallbladder removal, is particularly well-suited for automation due to its standardized procedural…
