Abstract

In this talk I will present a series of work done at the Chair for Computer Aided Procedures (CAMP), which use AI, Computer vision, Robotics and Augmented Reality, to provide novel solutions for computer assisted interventions. After a short presentation of our work on AI for Covid analysis and for supporting remote management of ICU, I focus on modelling surgical procedures.  I will end the talk with our recent work on robotic imaging and augmented reality.
