Introduction <br/>An innovative, patient-specific, hip implant was developed for canine patients suffering from developmental hip dysplasia. In a first cohort study, the post-operative positions of the implants deviated with an average of 5 mm when compared to the pre-operatively planned positions. A novel augmented reality (AR) based intra...

Modern navigation heavily relies on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and digitized road network databases, but faces limitations in GNSS-denied areas and complex 2D road netowrks. This project addresses these challenges by developing a methodology to create and store a comprehensive 3D road and terrain dataset for enhanced navigation....

Liver cancer ranks seventh in global cancer prevalence and stands as the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Surgical resection is considered the gold standard for treatment of liver malignancies and has witnessed a shift toward minimally invasive techniques in recent decades. Surgeons rely on laparoscopic observations, preoperative...

Insects have long been recognized for their ability to navigate and return home using visual cues from their nest’s environment. However, the precise mechanism underlying this remarkable homing skill remains a subject of ongoing investigation. Drawing inspiration from the learning flights of honey bees and wasps, we propose a robot navigation...

Introduction<br/>Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR) can be used for surgical navigation to execute the pre-operative plan. HoloMA is a novel AR/MR application which can guide the user to place surgical instruments on the planned location within the patient. In this pilot study, the AR/MR-guidance of HoloMA was used to place...

Hepatopancreato-biliary (HPB) surgeons, when planning complex cases of pancreatic cancer, lose precious time because of difficulties in visualising the interaction between tumour and blood vessels and identifying patient-specific anatomy. To tackle this issue, the Integrated Imaging Workstation (IIW) was prototyped by e/MTIC and Philips. This...

Wu, Siyuan (author)
Recent progress in multiple micro aerial vehicle (MAV) systems has demonstrated autonomous navigation in static environments. Yet, there are limited works regarding the autonomous navigation of multiple MAVs in dynamic and unknown environments. The challenge arises from the complexity of the motion planning problem, which requires the MAVs to...

Kriekaard, Femke (author)
A majority of people with dementia live at home. Most people living alone experience problems with wayfinding due to symptoms of their disease, like memory impairment, spatial disorientation, and loss of planning abilities. These problems can cause them to reduce their outside travel range or even stop going on independent outdoor visits...

This thesis presents a comprehensive approach to integrating a trajectory planner and follower for autonomous vehicles (AVs) using model predictive contouring control (MPCC). The planner generates collision-free trajectories with a kinematic bicycle model, while the follower tracks them using a dynamic bicycle model with a smaller integration...

In the field of robotics, consider the following problem scenario: In a robot environment, a simple robot must push objects to reference places while figuring out which objects can be pushed, what the best manipulation strategy is, or which objects are static and cannot be pushed. The problem scenario can be decomposed into three research topics...
