Description

Interventional procedures are increasingly supported by intelligent robotic systems capable of perceiving, reasoning, and acting in complex clinical environments. Recent advances in artificial intelligence, multimodal imaging, and robotic control are accelerating the transition from conventional teleoperation toward high-level autonomy.

However, clinical deployment remains limited. The core challenges are:

  • Robust perception under occlusions, bleeding, radiation-based imaging, and anatomical variability
  • Real-time multimodal image integration across fluoroscopy, CT, ultrasound, and endoscopy
  • Navigation and control in complex cardiovascular anatomies
  • Safe shared autonomy and human–robot collaboration
  • Generalisation across patients, procedures, and institutions
  • Regulatory, ethical, and accountability frameworks

This workshop presents two perspectives on intelligent robotic intervention:

Part I – Autonomous Surgical Systems

Focus on perception, workflow understanding, and clinically deployable autonomous surgical assistants.

Part II – Autonomy and Multimodal Image in Cardiovascular Robotics

Focus on AI-driven catheter navigation, multimodal image fusion, precision manipulation, and the progression toward improved procedural safety in constrained vascular environments.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this workshop, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the clinical, technical, and regulatory challenges shaping autonomous and intelligent interventional medical systems. Building on this foundation, the workshop will highlight emerging approaches in robotic control, shared autonomy, and human–robot collaboration, with particular attention to safety, interpretability, and real-world validation.

Participants will further develop insight into the key clinical constraints, workflow requirements, and failure modes that currently limit the large-scale deployment of autonomous systems.

Understanding these barriers will help frame the discussion on how robotic technologies can be translated responsibly into practice and broaden access to high-quality care, including in hospitals with limited resources.

Finally, the workshop will foster interdisciplinary dialogue among engineers, clinicians, and industry partners to accelerate the development of trustworthy, scalable, and accessible robotic intervention technologies.
