New open-source library simplifies surgical AI data collection

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Ariel Rodriguez and colleagues have introduced Sensorium, an open-source Python library designed to streamline the collection and curation of multimodal data for embodied surgical AI. This library addresses the challenges of costly and hardware-dependent surgical data acquisition by enabling configurable recording, processing, and annotation of data from robot and sensor streams using ROS and ROS2 middleware. Sensorium has been evaluated across 1516 recordings of various surgical experiments, demonstrating its utility in generating episodic datasets. AI

IMPACT Facilitates the development of embodied surgical AI by providing a standardized tool for multimodal data acquisition and curation.
