Robotic system for the automatic guidance of the camera in laparoscopic surgery
Laparoscopy, as a minimal invasive technique provides advantages for the patient, such as minimal trauma and a much rapid recovering. The project developed consists on making the process of continuously guiding the camera towards the area of interest, the abdominal area where the surgeon is working, automatic. A vision system determines the area of interest and provides the movment orders to a robot that holds the camera, or laparoscope. + info

Monitoring, Supervision and intelligent registration of the state signals in an operating room
The project has been motivated by the increasing need of introducing new technology in the operating room with the aim to improve surgical procedures, having as a goal the advancement in incorporation of technology in this environment. More specifically, the work has been done in an experimental operating room endowed with a robot that assists the surgeon and in the development of a computer controlled environment. + info
