Robotic Arm Platform for Multi-View Image Acquisition and 3D Reconstruction in Minimally Invasive Surgery

Alexander Saikia, Chiara Di Vece, Sierra Bonilla, Chloe He, Morenike Magbagbeola, Laurent Mennillo +3
RA-L 2025

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) offers significant benefits, such as reduced recovery time and minimised patient trauma, but poses challenges in visibility and access, making accurate 3D reconstruction a significant tool in surgical planning and navigation. This work introduces a robotic arm platfo

CVPR 2023poster

International benchmarking competitions have become fundamental for the comparative performance assessment of image analysis methods. However, little attention has been given to investigating what can be learnt from these competitions. Do they really generate scientific progress? What are common and…

Intrinsic Force Sensing for Motion Estimation in a Parallel, Fluidic Soft Robot for Endoluminal Interventions

Lukas Lindenroth, Jeref Merlin, Sophia Bano, Joseph G. Manjaly, Nishchay Mehta, Danail Stoyanov
RA-L 2022

Determining the externally-induced motion of a soft robot in minimally-invasive procedures is highly challenging and commonly demands specific tools and dedicated sensors. Intrinsic force sensing paired with a model describing the robot's compliance offers an alternative pathway which relies heavily

A Fluidic Soft Robot for Needle Guidance and Motion Compensation in Intratympanic Steroid Injections

Lukas Lindenroth, Sophia Bano, Agostino Stilli, Joseph G. Manjaly, Danail Stoyanov
RA-L 2021

Intratympanic steroid injections are commonly employed in treating ear diseases, such as sudden sensorineural hearing loss or Meniere's disease through drug delivery via the middle ear. Whilst being an effective treatment, the procedure has to be performed by a trained surgeon to avoid delicate regi

Globally Optimal Fetoscopic Mosaicking Based on Pose Graph Optimisation With Affine Constraints

Liang Li, Sophia Bano, Jan Deprest, Anna L. David, Danail Stoyanov, Francisco Vasconcelos
RA-L 2021

Fetoscopic laser ablation surgery could be guided using a high-quality panorama of the operating site, representing a map of the placental vasculature. This can be achieved during the initial inspection phase of the procedure using image mosaicking techniques. Due to the lack of camera calibration i
