PhD

Topic: Robotic and learning of the laparoscopic gesture

Advisors: Jérôme Szewczyk (ISIR, Paris) and Philippe Poignet (LIRMM, Montpellier)

Description: Improve the training of laparoscopic surgery thanks to robotics. Define the problems directly with the students in medical school and their teachers.
Three aspects can be improved during a laparoscopic surgery training session:
- The understanding of the task can be improved by dividing the difficulties of laparoscopic surgery (lack of depth perception, poor hand-eye coordination, inversion of the movement, reduction of the movement to 4 degree of freedom and alteration of haptic feedback). A EMG study can be done to measure muscle fatigue.
- The set-up can give more information to the student thanks to in-line multi-sensory feedback (visual and tactile)
- The student can be considered in the loop by looking at his/her psychomotor skills
