The promising automation of flexible surgical instruments and robots is impeded by the lack of sensory means, which allow for sensing of an instrument's position to the surrounding tissue. This work presents a novel sensory method utilizing capacitive proximity sensing to derive a relative localization of a flexible instrument inside a hollow organ. The method is evaluated by exemplary integration of a sensor in a commercial gastroendoscope and accuracy analysis using a high precision robot. The results show an accuracy of distance sensing from a medical phantom's center of 2%. The method is also evaluated for the irregularly shaped surrounding of ex-vivo tissue in a dynamic scenario. This promising approach holds potential for transfer to clinical scenarios and for further development towards pose estimation of flexible surgical robots and shape sensing of a minimally invasive environment.

Cooperative trajectory planning methods for automated vehicles can solve traffic scenarios that require a high degree of cooperation between traffic participants. However, for cooperative systems to integrate into human-centered traffic, the automated systems must behave human-like so that humans can anticipate the system’s decisions. While Reinforcement Learning has made remarkable progress in solving the decision-making part, it is non-trivial to parameterize a reward model that yields predictable actions. This work employs feature-based Maximum Entropy Inverse Reinforcement Learning combined with Monte Carlo Tree Search to learn reward models that maximize the likelihood of recorded multi-agent cooperative expert trajectories. The evaluation demonstrates that the approach can recover a reasonable reward model that mimics the expert and performs similarly to a manually tuned baseline reward model.

Polynomial chaos expansion (pce) is an increasingly popular technique for uncertainty propagation and quantification in systems and control. Based on the theory of Hilbert spaces and orthogonal polynomials, PCE allows for a unifying mathematical framework to study systems under arbitrary uncertainties of finite variance; we introduce this problem as a so-called mapping under uncertainty. For practical PCE-based applications we require orthogonal polynomials relative to given probability densities, and their quadrature rules. With *** we provide a Julia software package that delivers the desired functionality: given a probability density function, *** offers several numerical routines to construct the respective orthogonal polynomials, and the quadrature rules together with tensorized scalar products. *** is the first PCE-related software written in Julia, a scientific programming language that combines the readability of scripted languages with the speed of compiled languages. We provide illustrating numerical examples that show both PCE and *** in action.
Design and manufacture of a novel varifocal freeform optics by means of high-resolution 3D printing are presented. Tuning of its focal length is achieved by mutually rotating two lens bodies around the optical axis. &...
