Autonomy in Surgery
This research area is dealing with tools and methods for delivery of treatment, i.e. for the transfer of planned action into action – also including methods for adaptation of planned actions based on situation awareness. In the deliberative control scheme of a therapy process, this area is covering the “acting” phase. Research tasks of topic “Smart Tools and Instruments” address some of the key points for improvement of state of the art MIS procedures. Based on the existing concept for steerable stylets and trocars, tools will be developed for concrete applications and tested clinically. Tool design activities also will be related to integration of the sensors developed in research area Sensor Systems for Diagnosis and Therapy into surgical tools for real-time in vivo therapy monitoring.

Finally, investigation of new surgical access systems will complete the range of activities regarding “smart tools”. Furthermore, new application setups for our existing robot technology will be investigated as well as concepts for Cognitive Surgical Systems. For the latter topic, especially aspects of autonomous task execution as well as collaborative human/robot setups will be analysed in terms of concrete clinical use cases.
Tasks of topic “Information-based Therapy” aim to investigate concepts for data-based treatment. New methods for surgical navigation will be developed, including efficient and accurate registration, soft tissue navigation, and navigation based on real-time imaging. Furthermore, we address treatment optimization based on sensor data in a local context, as well as globally by investigation of methods related to “Surgical IoT” and “Surgical Data Science”.
