Explore development of soft surgical devices in our usability study! We are testing a novel suction-based retraction device and are seeking user feedback from surgeons with robotic or laparoscopic experience. Contact aoife.mcdonald-bowyer.19@ucl.ac.uk

Being a judge advisor at VEX worlds for the third year in a row was amazing. We saw so many talented teams from all over the world. Can't wait for next season! (After a restful break) I hit 201k steps over the entire event

Well done to both teams. Running the ES VIQRC finals was the most fun of the entire weekend as always!
Winning with friends is so much better than just winning. Wardley Primary School and Arnold Lodge combined perfectly to win the big one. #VEXUKNationals @VEXRobotics @VEXRoboticsUK @ArnoldLodgeNews #edutwitter #stem #Robotics

Dear @gregbeardsell, we just redeemed our half price coke, but the Möet's kinda finished us all off, should be an interesting second half ;). Lots of love from the choir's basses x #RAHChristmas

Congratulations Nina!
No autonomous surgical robots without synthetic data! Our latest paper introduces SARAMIS, the first large-scale dataset capturing human anatomy as 3D rendering assets for robotic assisted and minimally invasive surgery, to be presented at @NeurIPSConf shorturl.at/qTUY1 🧵

Massive thanks to @PsychiaAlex , Matt and Josh for ref/judge/general expert of all things. And the mighty team Floppy (some of them) with other @KingHenrysDT roboteers. It’s not an overstatement that I couldn’t have done it without them. 👏👏👏👏👏

Happy to share passing my Ph.D. viva with minor corrections! A massive thank you to my supervisors Prof. @DanStoyanov and Prof. @SarahKSpurgeon, for the guidance throughout, and my examiners, Prof. Rodriguez y Baena and Dr. Thuruthel, for the great discussion!
Many congratulations to Keshav Iyengar from @WEISS_UCL @uclrobotics on the successful defence of his PhD thesis 'Deep Reinforcement Learning for Inverse Kinematics and Path Following of Concentric Tube Robots'
