Bronchoscope Tip Localization With Learned Airway Constraints and an Open Source Simulator
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.BronchoLoc addresses feature‐poor bronchoscopic imaging by combining monocular video with a preoperative CT graph to estimate 3D camera location. A local tracker identifies candidate branches, while a sequence‐aware global module refines the trajectory. Demonstrating sub‐centimeter accuracy across synthetic and phantom datasets, this framework advances

3D Closed‐Loop Navigation of Magnetic Microswimmers Using Vision‐Derived Depth Feedback
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A planar magnetic microswimmer is navigated in three dimensions under a standard microscope. Image defocus supplies a real‐time depth cue, and model‐predictive control with A* planning steers the body on surfaces and in free swimming. Axial position is regulated by propulsion alone, without magnetic field gradients or extra cameras.

Shape Sensing, Mapping, and Obstacle Avoidance of the Continuum Manipulator in Confined Environments
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.An integrated sensing framework combines capacitive sensors, IMU, and laser array sensor. The shape reconstruction is finished by backpropagation neural network. Accurate shape estimation (relative error of 1.04%) is maintained under a 110 g tip load, while a miniaturized VL6180X array enables local environmental reconstruction and reactive obstacle ...
