Breakout Session: Slicer for Medical Robotics Research
Key Investigators
- Junichi Tokuda (Brigham and Women's Hospital)
- Axel Krieger (Children's National Medical Center)
- Simon Leonard (Johns Hopkins University)
- Tobias Frank (University Hannover, Germany)
Project Description
Objective
- Define requirements and system architecture for medical robotics software system based on 3D Slicer and Robot Operating System (ROS)
Approach, Plan
- Needs for 3D Slicer / ROS integration in ongoing research projects (presentations by participants)
- Axel (Autonomous Surgery using the KUKA LWR)
- Simon (dVRK?)
- Junichi (OpenIGTLink and medical robotics research)
- Tobias (OCT robot / Integration of KUKA robot and 3D Slicer
- Brainstorming 1: Requirements
- Applications (e.g. endoscopic surgery, percutaneous interventions, catheterization, etc.)
- Platforms -- Linux, Windows, MAC
- Roles for 3D Slicer -- visualization, image processing, etc.
- Roles for ROS -- vision, sensors, devices, etc.
- Brainstorming 2: Architecture for 3D Slicer-ROS integration
- Types of data exchanged between ROS and 3D Slicer
- Communication scheme between ROS and 3D Slicer
- Software package to provide
- Independent middleware?
- 3D Slicer plug-in modules
- ROS modules
- Brainstorming 3: Collaborative tools / teams
- Platforms to support (ROS mainly support Linux)
- Repository
