Congratulations to Beilei and Mobarakl for the paper “Surgical-DINO: Adapter Learning of Foundation Models for Depth Estimation in Endoscopic Surgery, (Beilei Cui, Mobarakol Islam, Long Bai, Hongliang Ren) Shortlisted for competing for the IPCAI2024 Best Paper Award and long presentation at IPCAI2024 Barcelona, Spain.
The International Conference on Information Processing in Computer-Assisted Interventions (IPCAI) is one of the most important venues for disseminating innovative peer-reviewed research in computer-assisted surgery and minimally invasive interventions. Now in its 15th year, IPCAI is an interdisciplinary conference that attracts clinicians, engineers and computer science researchers from various backgrounds, including machine learning, robotics, computer vision, medical imaging, data science, and sensing technologies. IPCAI fosters connections and showcases high-quality research in a unique and focused two-day event. The conference is formatted specifically to actively engage the attendees.
The IPCAI was held between June 18-19 2024 in conjunction with the Computer-Assisted Radiology and Surgery (CARS) Conference in Barcelona, Spain.

Prof. Ren Delivers an Invited Talk at HKUST AIoT for Healthcare
June 13, 2024 โ Prof. Hongliang Ren of CUHK is invited to speak at the Artificial Intelligence and IoT for Healthcare 2024 workshop held at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). He gives an invited talk entitled โCompliant Surgical Motion Generation and Perception Towards Intelligent Minimally Invasive Robotic Procedures.โ
Prof. Ren shares recent advances in compliant surgical motion generation and motion perception for intelligent image-guided minimally invasive robotic procedures. His talk highlights how procedure-specific telerobotic surgical systems can assist surgeons in dexterous manipulation through continuum motion generation mechanisms with variable stiffness and context awareness.
Prof. Ren also joins the afternoon panel discussion with other invited speakers and experts, exchanging views on the future development of AIoT technologies for smart healthcare and medical robotics.
This talk reflects Prof. Renโs continuous efforts in medical robotics, soft continuum robots, multisensory perception, and intelligent systems for next-generation minimally invasive surgical procedures.
