This project focuses on IASO – Intelligent AI Systems for Surgical Operations.
IASO, an NSERC Alliance project with THINK Surgical, advances real-time sensing and spatial intelligence for robotic surgical systems. Building on the ACESO project’s breakthroughs in camera calibration and tracking, IASO integrates deep learning, computer vision, and multi-sensor fusion to achieve sub-millimetric accuracy in 3D reconstruction and scene registration. Students will design robust algorithms for dynamic, cluttered surgical environments—enhancing calibration reliability, perception, and interaction between optical, depth, and inertial sensing modalities.
Founded in 1974, Concordia University is a non-profit public higher education institution located in the urban setting of the large city of Montréal (population range of 1,000,000-5,000,000 inhabitants), Quebec. Officially accredited and/or recognized by the Ministère de l'Éducation et de l'Enseignement supérieur, Québec (Ministry of Education and Higher Education, Quebec), Concordia University (CU) is a very large (uniRank enrollment range: over-45,000 students) coeducational higher education institution. Concordia University (CU) offers courses and programs leading to officially recognized higher education degrees such as pre-bachelor degrees (i.e. certificates, diplomas, associate or foundation degrees), bachelor degrees, master degrees, doctorate degrees in several areas of study. See the uniRank degree levels and areas of study matrix below for further details. This 45 years old higher-education institution has a selective admission policy based on students' past academic record and grades. International students are welcome to apply for enrollment.
