Introduction to Surgical Robotics

Winter term 2020/2021

After attending this lecture, you'll know about:

• Analyzing the pros and cons of the use of robots in existing surgical workflows
• Fundamentals of modes of operation, compiling requirements, specifying components and integration aspects of systems
• Conception and modeling of solutions for problems based on technical and algorithmic approaches
• Definition of a clinical project for enhancing surgical applications by the use of robotics

The lecture is structured into three areas:

• State of the Art and Environment
• Robotics Basics
• Basics for Designing a Surgical Robotics Application

You will have the opportunity to:

• Learn about the cutting edge research in surgical robotics
• Talk to specialists from technology development
• Develop and present your own approach of robotics assistance in the operating room
• Do practical work and pass a final test

The application-oriented course begins with a presentation of current surgical interventions with robotics assistance and correspondent research projects, analysing benefits and drawbacks. Then, basic knowledge about surgical techniques is presented. Several lectures put the focus on background knowledge that is required for computer scientists to include robotics in their research projects. The acquired knowledge is applied by the students to develop a solution to an existing clinical problem using robotics assistance.

Assignments Self-organized familiarization with MATLAB/Simulink Accompanying research in groups of 4-5 students, to develop a conceptual solution to an existing clinical problem using robotics assistance Midterm presentation (Powerpoint or equivalent) of 15 minutes/per team including the medical basics of a procedure, equipment used, evaluation of procedure (logistics, use of equipment, timing, who is involved and individual roles, other relevant information, starting points for improvements, and next steps ...) Final presentation (Powerpoint or equivalent) of 15 minutes/per team of defined process, engineering and computer science relevant evaluation, identification of potential process improvements, actual process improvement (pick one topic) with robotics assistance (improve quality and surgical accuracy? improve timing of procedure? cost improvement? ...)

Announcements Grading will be based on attendance, the midterm presentation, the final group presentation, and a test on the technology basics. All four grading parts need to be passed to successfully attend the course. One excused (E-Mail at least two days prior to lecture with reason) absence will be accepted, two excused absences will cause a "4" in attendance, a non-excused absence equals failure of the course. The first block is mandatory! The course will be held ONLINE First lecture will be held on November 5th The maximum number of participants is 20 to enable student research projects. Students will sequentially be contacted according to the registration date to confirm their willingness to attend the course.
