Presentation

The INSPECT project aims at:

Developing reliable and explainable Artificial Intelligence (AI) approaches is of paramount, importance especially in clinical applications. The wide adoption of robots for surgery is established, with a market of $16 billion in 2024. This domain was marked by the introduction of continuum robots in the last decades, a break-through in the robotics paradigm, allowing for inherently safe, miniaturized, and deformable systems, able to access and navigate through complex anatomy and closely reach confined therapeutical targets. Their wide spread is yet limited by the ability to localize and control such small devices in medical images. INSPECT will provide AI (deep/reinforcement learning) methods, combined with recent sophisticated robot mathematical models, in order to precisely estimate the entire shape of continuum robots and assist surgeons to accurate control their motion. INSPECT will aim for advances in AI-based surgical robots: less invasive, safe, reliable, and accurate.
