Autonomous ultrasound (US) probe initial localization is challenging when external cameras are obstructed or provide only partial patient views, as this limits the utility of anatomical priors. To overcome this, we introduce a novel robotic US probe localization framework featuring two key innovatio
In the era of Large Language Models (LLMs), embodied artificial intelligence presents transformative opportunities for robotic manipulation tasks. Ultrasound imaging, a widely used and cost-effective medical diagnostic procedure, faces. challenges due to the global shortage of professional sonograph
Transorbital Neuro Surgery (TNS) offers a novel treatment towards the lesion inside skull pursuing minimal invasiveness. Most conventional TNS tools are rigid and straight, limiting the dexterity and accessibility in passing a small port. Bendable and steerable surgical tools provides an alternative…
Patient modelling has a wide range of applications in medicine and healthcare, such as clinical teaching, surgery navigation and automatic robotized scanning. While patients are typically covered or occluded in medical scenes, directly regressing human meshes from single RGB images is challenging. T
Intraoperative contact sensing has the potential to reduce the risk of surgical errors and enhance manipulation capabilities for medical robots, particularly in contact force control. Current intrinsic force sensing (IFS) methods are limited in application to medical instruments with arbitrary shape
