An AI Coach for Enhancing Teamwork in the Cardiac Operating Room
The goal of this multi-disciplinary project is to develop an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled coaching system (AI Coach) for monitoring, assessing, and enhancing surgical teamwork in the cardiac operating room (OR).
A Robot-Assisted Perfusion System to Improve Patient Safety in the Cardiac Operating Room
The goal of this project is to develop and evaluate a Robot-Assisted Perfusion System (RAPS) that learns from expert perfusionists in the cardiac operating room and can be integrated into the surgical workflow as a non-human teammate.
A Novel Cognition-based Guidance System to Improve Surgical Safety
The goal of this project is to develop novel approaches to using process and patient real-time data, and device status information dynamically and proactively to provide guidance forward from the current surgical state.
Robotic Crawler for Epicardial Interventions
This project aims to develop a semi-autonomous epicardial crawling robot (Heartlander) to enable image-guided minimally invasive treatment of heart failure.
Articulated Robot for Epicardial Interventions
This project focuses on the development and evaluation of an innovative approach for performing minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) based on a highly articulated robotic probe (HARP).
