A Unique Structure
for Research
MITICS’ s unique interdisciplinary team includes biomedical engineers, robotic engineers, and clinicians, all working together to push the boundaries of medical technology development.
The MITIC lab
is structured into three key research lines:
Surgical Robot Autonomy
and Simulation
This line focuses on autonomous surgical tasks using platforms like da Vinci Research Kit (dVRK), integrating machine learning, robotic control, dynamics, and simulation platforms such as Unity 3D and Isaac Sim. Research includes target-driven autonomous suturing and the development of a surgical gesture dataset.
Sensing and Cognitive Vision
This area involves surgical video analysis, real-to-sim and sim-to-real simulation of surgical environments, and advanced image processing for understanding and reconstructing surgical scenes. Projects include depth sensing in endoscopic surgery and synthetic dataset generation for tool segmentation.
Design and Development
of Novel Robotic Devices
This line focuses on creating new robotic tools like the RED++ soft robot for endoscopic dissection, emphasizing innovations in robotic control mechanisms such as sliding, rotation, and bending of robotic components.
