The research group demoed their latest work to over 5000 attendees over two days
Last month, the UCL Surgical Robot Vision group exhibited at the Festival of Tomorrow.
Held across Swindon, the Festival brought together the best shows, panels, installations, workshops, exhibitions and more from the worlds of science, innovation and the arts.
During the two days, the Surgical Robot Vision (SRV) group showcased their latest work on an AI assistant used in endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery and demoed an interactive keyhole surgery game, where participants used real surgical instruments to experience how surgeons practice performing delicate keyhole surgeries.
The group also led an AR baby visualisation for ultrasound obstetric training demo, which used pairs of augmented reality glasses to display a full 3D baby model directly on a pregnancy phantom while performing an ultrasound scan. As ultrasound images can be hard to interpret, this system helps the wearer understand precisely what anatomy is being scanned and aims to reduce the learning curve.
Congratulations to all those involved - Dr Eddie Edwards, Dr Shuai Zhang, Aoife McDonald-Bowyer, Kendall Feeny-Williams, Rozenn Rafaut, Dr Zhehua Mao, Julia Moldoveanu and Simon Watt!
