Learning Dynamic Spatial Relations The Case of a Knowledge-based End

Andreas Bihlmaier describes a novel method to model dynamic spatial relations by machine learning techniques. The method is applied to the task of representing the tacit knowledge of a trained camera assistant in minimally-invasive surgery. The model is t

Acknowledgement A number of people beyond the author of this PhD thesis have been essential to achieve the results presented here. My first “Thank You” is directed to Prof. Heinz W¨orn and Prof. Beat M¨ uller not only for their guidance and advice, but without them there would not even have been a research project to start my work on. In this context, I also want to acknowledge everyone involved in writing the Sonderforschungsbereich/Transregio 125 “Cognition-Guided Surgery”1 project proposal, in particular Oliver Weede, who set the goal within the project to research into autonomous endoscope guidance. Thanks to everybody involved into the SFB/Transregio 125 project. A special acknowledgement is mandatory for Hannes Kenngott, Martin Wagner and Patrick Mietkowski: Without your help nothing would have been possible. No interdisciplinary papers on surgical robotics would have been written; no prizes would have been won. The other important context was the Institute for Anthropomatics and Robotics – Intelligent Process Control and Robotics (IAR-IPR), which has a great culture of informal interactions, sincere criticism and mutual support, thanks to everybody there. Not least to the secretaries, without whom there would be no time left to do research.
