Autonomous Robotic Lung Ultrasound

Last updated in October 2024.

Introduction

This project was a research project I participated in at CUHK, supervised by Prof. LI Zheng and Prof. Pheng-Ann Heng, 2023 ~ 2024. This project aimed to use robots to perform autonomous point-of-care lung ultrasound examinations in ICUs to reduce the risk of infection for clinicians during epidemics. I contributed to this project as the robot development lead, prototyped a robotic lung ultrasound system and assisted in its preclinical validation.

Demo

Here is a video demo of our system performing lung ultrasound examination of the anterior-superior region of a volunteer through the second and third intercostal spaces.
