Automatic Robotic-Assisted Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy Scanning System

ICRA 2025

Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS) is a wellestablished optical technique for tissue composition assessment which has been clinically evaluated for tumour detection to ensure the complete removal of cancerous tissue. While pointwise assessment has many potential applications, incorporating autom

Hybrid Deep Reinforcement Learning for Radio Tracer Localisation in Robotic-Assisted Radioguided Surgery

ICRA 2025

Radioguided surgery, such as sentinel lymph node biopsy, relies on the precise localization of radioactive targets by non-imaging gamma/beta detectors. Manual radioactive target detection based on visual display or audible indication of gamma level is highly dependent on the ability of the surgeon t

Tracking Everything in Robotic-Assisted Surgery

ICRA 2025

Accurate tracking of tissues and instruments in videos is crucial for Robotic-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery (RAMIS), as it enables the robot to comprehend the surgical scene with precise locations and interactions of tissues and tools. Traditional keypoint-based sparse tracking is limited by f

LaryngoTORS: A Novel Cable-Driven Parallel Robotic System for Transoral Laser Phonosurgery

RA-L 2020

Transoral laser phonosurgery is a commonly used surgical procedure in which a laser beam is used to perform incision, ablation or photocoagulation of laryngeal tissues. Two techniques are commonly practiced: free beam and fiber delivery. For free beam delivery, a laser scanner is integrated into a s

Towards a robotic-assisted cartography of the colon: A proof of concept

ICRA 2015poster

Colonoscopy is the gold standard screening test for colorectal cancer. However, it can miss up to 22% of lesions. One way to reduce this misrate is by guiding the endoscopist's attention towards suspicious areas (red-flagging). In this paper, we present the proof-of-concept of a novel endoscopic ima…
