A particular highlight was our effort towards automated and intelligent Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) surgery, empowered by our indigenous DREAMS (Dual-arm Robotic Endoscopic Assistant for Minimally Invasive Surgery, https://lnkd.in/gQ3PcMsn) platform. We demonstrated how this platform can enhance ESD procedures when equipped with advanced features such as precise trajectory planning, intelligent cutting decision support, accurate reconstruction, and granular analysis and prediction of motion (https://lnkd.in/gkF6A4QY) empowered by Large Visual-Language Models (LVLM).
In addition to our progress in ESD, we also presented other projects, including surgical scene reconstruction & depth estimation (https://lnkd.in/gviyHxAp, https://lnkd.in/gtDwbyWg), augmented reality applications in surgery, the skull-mounted neuro-interventional robot (SkullBot, https://lnkd.in/gn8N9zdU), and OCT for port-wine stain analysis (https://lnkd.in/gm6iH3-m).
This visit not only provided an opportunity for knowledge exchange and collaboration but also reaffirmed our lab’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of innovation in the fields of medical robotics and intelligent surgical technologies. We look forward to furthering these conversations and forging new partnerships that will drive the future of healthcare forward.
