Vision-Based Human Motion Tracking for Surgical Robotics

We offer a research-oriented internship focused on vision-based human motion and eye tracking, with emphasis on eyeball tracking and real-time communication of positional data to a surgical robotic system.

Responsibilities

• Implement and evaluate vision and sensing techniques for human body and eye motion tracking
• Develop real-time pipelines to estimate and transmit position data to a robotic system
• Build simple experimental setups and prototypes
• Design and perform experiments to evaluate accuracy, latency, and robustness
• Analyze and document experimental results

What You Will Learn

• Vision-based tracking and real-time image processing
• Eye tracking and gaze estimation fundamentals
• Integration of perception systems with robotic platforms
• Experimental validation and performance evaluation
