Recent advancements in age-related macular degeneration treatments necessitate precision delivery into the subretinal space, emphasizing minimally invasive procedures targeting the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)-Bruch’s membrane complex without causing trauma. Even for skilled surgeons, the inherent hand tremors during manual surgery can jeopardize the safety of these critical *** has fostered the evolution of robotic systems designed to prevent such tremors. These robots are enhanced by FBG sensors, which sense the small force interactions between the surgical instruments and retinal tissue. To enable the community to design algorithms taking advantage of such force feedback data, this paper focuses on the need to provide a specialized dataset, integrating optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging together with the aforementioned force *** introduce a unique dataset, integrating force sensing data synchronized with OCT B-scan images, derived from a sophisticated setup involving robotic assistance and OCT integrated microscopes. Furthermore, we present a neural network model for image-based force estimation to demonstrate the dataset’s applicability.

In the last decade, various robotic platforms have been introduced that could support delicate retinal surgeries. Concurrently, to provide semantic understanding of the surgical area, recent advances have enabled microscope-integrated intraoperative Optical Coherent Tomography (iOCT) with high-resolution 3D imaging at near video rate. The combination of robotics and semantic understanding enables task autonomy in robotic retinal surgery, such as for subretinal injection. This procedure requires precise needle insertion for best treatment outcomes. However, merging robotic systems with iOCT intro-duces new challenges. These include, but are not limited to high demands on data processing rates and dynamic registration of these systems during the procedure. In this work, we propose a framework for autonomous robotic navigation for subretinal injection, based on intelligent real-time processing of iOCT volumes. Our method consists of an instrument pose estimation method, an online registration between the robotic and the iOCT system, and trajectory planning tailored for navigation to an injection target. We also introduce intelligent virtual B-scans, a volume slicing approach for rapid instrument pose estimation, which is enabled by Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Our experiments on ex-vivo porcine eyes demonstrate the precision and repeatability of the method. Finally, we discuss identified challenges in this work and suggest potential solutions to further the development of such systems.
