The use of datasets is getting more relevance in surgical robotics since they can be used to recognise and automate tasks. Also, this allows to use common datasets to compare different algorithms and methods. The objective of this work is to provide a complete dataset of three common training surgical tasks that surgeons perform to improve their skills. For this purpose, 12 subjects teleoperated the da Vinci Research Kit to perform these tasks. The obtained dataset includes all the kinematics and dynamics information provided by the da Vinci robot (both master and slave side) together with the associated video from the camera. All the information has been carefully timestamped and provided in a readable csv format. A MATLAB interface integrated with ROS for using and replicating the data is also provided.

Many have explored the application of continuum robot manipulators for minimally invasive surgery, and have successfully demonstrated the advantages their flexible design provides -- with some solutions having reached commercialisation and clinical practice. However, the usual high complexity and closed-nature of such designs has traditionally restricted the shared development of continuum robots across the research area, thus impacting further progress and the solution of open challenges. In order to close this gap, this paper introduces ENDO, an open-source 3-segment continuum robot manipulator with control and actuation mechanism, whose focus is on simplicity, affordability, and accessibility. This robotic system is fabricated from low cost off-the-shelf components and rapid prototyping methods, and its information for implementation (and that of future iterations), including CAD files and source code, is available to the public on the Open Source Medical Robots initiatives repository on GitHub (https://github.com/OpenSourceMedicalRobots), with the control library also available directly from Arduino. Herein, we present details of the robot design and control, validate functionality by experimentally evaluating its workspace, and discuss possible paths for future development.
Robotic-assisted surgery is now well-established in clinical practice and has become the gold standard clinical treatment option for several clinical indications. The field of robotic-assisted surgery is expected to grow substantially in the next decade with a range of new robotic devices emerging to address unmet clinical needs across different specialities. A vibrant surgical robotics research community is pivotal for conceptualizing such new systems as well as for developing and training the engineers and scientists to translate them into practice. The da Vinci Research Kit (dVRK), an academic and industry collaborative effort to re-purpose decommissioned da Vinci surgical systems (Intuitive Surgical Inc, CA, USA) as a research platform for surgical robotics research, has been a key initiative for addressing a barrier to entry for new research groups in surgical robotics. In this paper, we present an extensive review of the publications that have been facilitated by the dVRK over the past decade. We classify research efforts into different categories and outline some of the major challenges and needs for the robotics community to maintain this initiative and build upon it.
Datasets are an essential component for training effective machine learning models. In particular, surgical robotic datasets have been key to many advances in semi-autonomous surgeries, skill assessment, and training. Simulated surgical environments can enhance the data collection process by making it faster, simpler and cheaper than real systems. In addition, combining data from multiple robotic domains can provide rich and diverse training data for transfer learning algorithms. In this paper, we present the DESK (Dexterous Surgical Skill) dataset. It comprises a set of surgical robotic skills collected during a surgical training task using three robotic platforms: the Taurus II robot, Taurus II simulated robot, and the YuMi robot. This dataset was used to test the idea of transferring knowledge across different domains (e.g. from Taurus to YuMi robot) for a surgical gesture classification task with seven gestures. We explored three different scenarios: 1) No transfer, 2) Transfer from simulated Taurus to real Taurus and 3) Transfer from Simulated Taurus to the YuMi robot. We conducted extensive experiments with three supervised learning models and provided baselines in each of these scenarios. Results show that using simulation data during training enhances the performance on the real robot where limited real data is available. In particular, we obtained an accuracy of 55% on the real Taurus data using a model that is trained only on the simulator data. Furthermore, we achieved an accuracy improvement of 34% when 3% of the real data is added into the training process.
Mobile machines typically working in a closed site, have a high potential to utilize autonomous driving technology. However, vigorously thriving development and innovation are happening mostly in the area of passenger cars. In contrast, although there are also many research pieces about autonomous driving or working in mobile machines, a consensus about the SOTA solution is still not achieved. We believe that the most urgent problem that should be solved is the absence of a public and challenging visual dataset, which makes the results from different researches comparable. To address the problem, we publish the KIT MOMA dataset, including eight classes of commonly used mobile machines, which can be used as a benchmark to evaluate the SOTA algorithms to detect mobile construction machines. The view of the gathered images is outside of the mobile machines since we believe fixed cameras on the ground are more suitable if all the interesting machines are working in a closed site. Most of the images in KIT MOMA are in a real scene, whereas some of the images are from the official website of top construction machine companies. Also, we have evaluated the performance of YOLO v3 on our dataset, indicating that the SOTA computer vision algorithms already show an excellent performance for detecting the mobile machines in a specific working site. Together with the dataset, we also upload the trained weights, which can be directly used by engineers from the construction machine industry. The dataset, trained weights, and updates can be found on our Github. Moreover, the demo can be found on our Youtube.
With the continuous development of science and technology, self-driving vehicles will surely change the nature of transportation and realize the automotive industrys transformation in the future. Compared with self-driving cars, self-driving buses are more efficient in carrying passengers and more environmentally friendly in terms of energy consumption. Therefore, it is speculated that in the future, self-driving buses will become more and more important. As a simulator for autonomous driving research, the CARLA simulator can help people accumulate experience in autonomous driving technology faster and safer. However, a shortcoming is that there is no modern bus model in the CARLA simulator. Consequently, people cannot simulate autonomous driving on buses or the scenarios interacting with buses. Therefore, we built a bus model in 3ds Max software and imported it into the CARLA to fill this gap. Our model, namely KIT bus, is proven to work in the CARLA by testing it with the autopilot simulation. The video demo is shown on our Youtube.
