Shuai ZHANG

I am now a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at Surgical Robot Vision Group, WEISS, University College London, UK. I studied my Ph.D. in the Robotics Institute, University of Technology Sydney, Australia, where I work on robots simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), surgical robotics, and optimization techniques in mobile robot localization and mapping and image guide robotic surgery. I am co-advised by Dr. Liang Zhao and Prof. Shoudong Huang.

    • Recent Projects

    During my Ph.D. study, the objective of my research is to develop 3D reconstruction and real-time localization techniques for rigid/deformable environments to facilitate medical robots working in minimally invasive surgery. I have been working on two research projects for my Ph.D. research:

  • 3D Reconstruction of Colon Structures and Textures from Colonoscopic Videos

    • Developed Colonoscopy Simulator and Source Code | Technical Details

    In this research project, I focused on developing SLAM-based frameworks to reconstruct the 3D maps of the deformable human colon from standard colonoscopy procedures, thus the unsurveyed regions (where precancerous polyps may reside) can be shown on the reconstructed colon maps and help colonoscopists to ensure more colonic surfaces are inspected and to reduce polyps missing rate. Due to the unavailability of complete colonoscopy datasets, I developed a realistic colonoscopy simulator that can simulate the colonoscopy procedures and generate complete colonoscopy datasets for validation of deformable reconstruction algorithms. The developed simulator was made publicly available to promote research in the field.

  • SLAM-TKA: Real-time Intra-operative Measurement of Proximal Tibial Resection Plane in Conventional Total Knee Arthroplasty

    •     

    Technical Details | Code Will be Released Soon...

    In the second research project, novel SLAM algorithms were developed to improve bone resection accuracy in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The proposed framework can precisely and real-timely pre-estimate the proximal tibial resection plane such that the evaluation processing does not need any external fiducials and does not interrupt the working flow of TKA.
