The Intraoperative Sensor Localisation (ISL) platform focuses on the translation of these techniques to computer assisted navigation, anatomy reconstruction, and multi-modal sensor fusion
Localisation and MappingÌýis a coreÌýresearch areaÌýin robotics that enables a device to localise itself in the environment by interpretingÌýsensorÌýdataÌýin real-time.ÌýThis platformÌýfocuses onÌýthe translationÌýof these techniquesÌýto computer assisted navigation,Ìýanatomy reconstruction, and multi-modal sensor fusion, including:
- Simultaneous Localisation And Mapping (SLAM) for both robotic and handheld intraoperative medical devices
- Reconstruction of anatomy from vision
- Multi-modality sensor calibrationÌýalgorithms
TheseÌýare made compatible with medical devices usedÌýboth in theÌýWEISSÌýfacilities, as well as by clinical collaboratorsÌýatÌý×î×¼µÄÁùºÏ²ÊÂÛ̳H.ÌýUse cases includeÌýboth real-time display and processing of retrospective data. The main goal is to focus on localisationÌýand data fusionÌýtechnologies,ÌýcomplementingÌýother platformsÌýthat specialise onÌýprocessingÌýindividual modalities.Ìý
Current developmentsÌýinclude image guidance for a fetal ultrasound training platform, view expansion in fetoscopic interventions, and camera localisation in both conventional and robotic laparoscopy.
