Inverse Reinforcement Learning Intra-operative Path Planning for Steerable Needle

Author(s)3: Elena De Momi
Inverse Reinforcement Learning Intra-operative Path Planning for Steerable Needle IEEE EMBS
This work presents a safe and effective keyhole neurosurgery intra-operative planning framework for flexible neurosurgical robots. The framework is intended to support neurosurgeons during the intraoperative procedure to react to a dynamic environment. The proposed system integrates inverse reinforcement learning path planning algorithm, based on expert demonstrations, with a realistic, time-bounded simulator based on Position-based Dynamics simulation that mocks brain deformations due to catheter insertion and a simulated robotic system. Simulation results performed on a human brain dataset show that that the presented intra-operative steerable needle path planner is able to avoid anatomical obstacles while optimising surgical criteria. read more

Impedance Properties of Multi-Optrode Biopotential Sensing Arrays

Author(s)3: Nigel Hamilton Lovell
Impedance Properties of Multi-Optrode Biopotential Sensing Arrays IEEE EMBS
This work demonstrates the advantage of using an optically inspired, liquid-crystal based biopotential recording technology over a conventional electrode and amplifier system. This optical electrode (optrode) system is favorable for its ability to adjust the input impedance levels in dense-array configurations. We conducted a benchtop experiment and circuit simulations to investigate the relationship between liquid-crystal transducer and interface impedances and the recording-site size in order to better understand the impedance properties of optrodes. This work is the starting point to optimize the layout and configuration of multi-optrode arrays to target various biomedical applications. read more
