Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASVs) play a crucial role in maritime operations, yet their navigation in shallow-water environments remains challenging due to dynamic disturbances and depth constraints. Traditional navigation strategies struggle with limited sensor information, making safe and efficie…
DynamicMovement Primitives (DMPs) form a robust framework for trajectory generation based on imitation learning, aiming to replicate the shape of reference trajectories from demonstrations closely. DMPs have been extensively employed for trajectory planning in robotic systems. However, they cannot s…

Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs) are a powerful framework for planning under uncertainty. They allow to model state uncertainty as a belief probability distribution. Approximate solvers based on Monte Carlo sampling show great success to relax the computational demand and perf…
Autonomous robotic surgery requires deliberation, i.e. the ability to plan and execute a task adapting to uncer-tain and dynamic environments. Uncertainty in the surgical domain is mainly related to the partial pre-operative knowledge about patient-specific anatomical properties. In this paper, we i…
Robot-assisted surgery is an established clinical practice. The automatic identification of surgical actions is needed for a range of applications, including performance assessment of trainees and surgical process modeling for autonomous execution and monitoring. However, supervised action identific
The use of robots in minimally invasive surgery has improved the quality of standard surgical procedures. So far, only the automation of simple surgical actions has been investigated by researchers, while the execution of structured tasks requiring reasoning on the environment and the choice among m…
