Autonomous surgical robotics
Precision for the challenges of neurosurgery.
Our autonomous neurosurgery programme connects artificial intelligence, medical computer vision, and robotic engineering around the complex anatomy of the brain and spinal canal.
Our work includes new ROSA instrumentation and da Vinci research, with a focus on the software and instrument interfaces that connect perception, planning, and precise movement.
Medical imaging and anatomy
Image interpretation brings lesion location, tissue relationships, and critical structures into view. Our work connects anatomical recognition, segmentation, and spatial information with surgical planning.
Planning and robotic control
Planning brings access geometry, instrument reach, anatomical boundaries, and movement together. Calibration, localization, and sensor feedback connect the plan to the robotic system.
Safety and human oversight
Operating boundaries, fault detection, continuous monitoring, and controlled stopping are considered throughout the system. Clinical and engineering expertise contribute to the design and evaluation process.
Brain and spinal canal tumour research
Taking on the most demanding neurosurgical questions.
Our work focuses on complex tumours, including cases where access and proximity to critical structures create exceptional surgical difficulty.
Anatomy shapes the problem. We bring medical imaging, AI, and precision engineering together to investigate new approaches for high-risk and currently inoperable cases.
01 / Brain tumours
Complex anatomy. Critical structures.
Deep-seated lesions and limited access corridors place demanding requirements on anatomical interpretation and planning. Our work considers tissue relationships, access paths, and controlled instrument movement.
02 / Spinal canal tumours
Confined spaces. Precise control.
The spinal cord, nerve roots, and surrounding structures create a tightly constrained working environment. We investigate image-guided navigation, instrumentation, and sensing around these requirements.
Image-guided navigation
Navigation connects anatomical information with instrument position and planned movement. Spatial alignment, critical structures, and feedback are central to this work.
AI surgical intelligence
How imaging informs each next step.
Medical imaging, anatomical interpretation, planning, and robotic control connected through sensing and safety monitoring.
Medical imaging
Imaging provides information about anatomy, lesions, and surrounding structures. Image quality, spatial alignment, and the clinical question guide how that information enters the planning workflow.
Sensing and safety checks connect every stage of the workflow.
Predictive analytics
Earlier insight into cardiovascular risk.
Our cardiovascular programme applies machine learning to health data for heart attack prediction, risk assessment, and preventive care planning.
98%
Heart attack prediction accuracy Cardiovascular predictive analytics
We connect this analytical work with the information healthcare teams need for clinical review and care planning.
Health data and model development
The prediction task guides the choice of information, outcome, and time horizon. Data preparation, model development, and interpretation are considered together.
Model evaluation
Accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, calibration, and population provide different views of model performance. Our evaluation work considers these measures in relation to the clinical question and intended use.
