Overview
With this Developing an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based self-training platform for laparoscopic surgery project at University of Dundee , we will develop machine vision and machine learning techniques and integrate those with physical box trainers.
Practicality
The autonomous and Intelligent Laparoscopy (AILap) Trainer with Real-Time Feedback system will be tested on commonly performed laparoscopic procedures associated with proficiency-gain/learning curve and that involves laparoscopic suturing as an unreplaceable skill (e.g., laparoscopic fundoplication, laparoscopic gastric-bypass of bariatric surgery, and laparoscopic closure of common bile duct after common bile exploration).
