Abstract: A robotic system for performing an ultrasound scan on a body part of a patient. The robotic system comprises a positioning device configured to hold and move an ultrasound probe, a sensor configured to obtain position data, and a control unit. The control unit being configured to generate first movement instructions based on received position data, and second movement instructions using a machine learning data architecture trained to evaluate an ultrasound image of the body part.

Abstract: A robotic system for performing an automatic ultrasound scan on a body part of a patient. The system comprises a support surface for supporting the body part, a display, and a robotic arm. The robotic arm is configured to hold an ultrasound probe and move the ultrasound probe to obtain the automatic ultrasound scan of the body part supported by the support surface. The display is integrated into the support surface and adapted for supporting at least part of the body part to be scanned.

Abstract: A system and a method is for automating welding processes, in particular welding processes in the heavy industries. One embodiment regards a computer implemented method for automatic detection and/or planning of a welding task in a welding environment, the method including the steps of: obtaining scanning data from a scan of the welding environment, detecting welding object(s) in the scanning data by means of artificial intelligence employing a machine learning algorithm, wherein the machine learning algorithm has been trained on real and simulated 3D data of known welding objects, determining the pose of each detected welding object, and optionally generating a welding path for each detected welding object.

Abstract: There is provided a method and computer program product for programming a robot by manually operating it in gravity-compensation kinesthetic-guidance mode. More specifically there is provided method and computer program product that uses kinesthetic teaching as a demonstration input modality and does not require the installation or use of any external sensing or data-capturing modules. It requires a single user demonstration to extract a representation of the program, and presents the user with a series of easily-controllable parameters that allow them to modify or constrain the parameters of the extracted program representation of the task.

Abstract: A system and method for visualization of subsurface anatomy includes obtaining a first image from a first camera and a second image from a second camera or a second channel of the first camera, where the first and second images contain shared anatomical structures. The second camera and the second channel of the first camera are capable of imaging anatomy beneath the surface in ultra-violet, visual, or infra-red spectrum. A data processor is configured for computing registration of the first image to the second image to provide visualization of subsurface anatomy during surgical procedures. A visual interface displays the registered visualization of the first and second images. The system and method are particularly useful for imaging during minimally invasive surgery, such as robotic surgery.
