In endovascular surgery, the precise identification of catheters and guidewires in X-ray images is essential for reducing intervention risks. However, accurately segmenting catheter and guidewire structures is challenging due to the limited availability of labeled data. Foundation models offer a pro
Robot-assisted endovascular navigation provides significant advantages, including reduced radiation exposure for surgeons and improved patient safety. However, a major challenge is to control curvilinear instruments like guidewires precisely for smooth and accurate navigation while adapting to anato
Recently simulation methods have been developed for optical tactile sensors to enable the Sim2Real learning, i.e., first training models in simulation before deploying them on a real robot. However, some artefacts in real objects are unpredictable, such as imperfections caused by fabrication process…
