This project proposes to enable a complete system for robotic optometric I ophthalmic examination of freestanding patients, including automated cornea , lens, and retinal imaging as well as eyeglass prescription measurement. Robot-aided medical exams have the potential to improve access to preventative medical care, improve health outcomes, reduce costs of care, and reduce disease transmission risk, but they pose safety concerns due to the extremely close proximity of humans and machinery. Moreover, patient interactions are extremely varied , so automating data collection in the "long tail" of anomalous situations requires robust and adaptive perception and decision-making. To address these safety and reliability concerns , this three-year project will integrate basic research in real-time human motion sensing and robot motion planning with applied research in ophthamology and biomedical imaging. This research will be conducted along three aims. Aim 1 will build the robot-mounted sensing instrument by augmenting the proposers' existing work in robotically-aligned optical coherence tomography imaging with additional modalities. Aim 2 will address safety by leveraging recent technical advances in sensors, real-time human tracking , human motion prediction , and robot motion planning to implement active safety systems that eliminate robot-initiated collisions and minimize human-initiated ones. Aim 3 will address evaluation and refinement of safety and reliability using large-scale studies on head / eye phantoms and smaller-scale studies on human subjects.

该项目旨在为机器人验光I眼科检查提供一个完整的系统， 独立式患者，包括自动角膜、透镜和视网膜成像，以及自动化角膜成像系统。 处方测量机器人辅助医疗检查有可能改善获得 预防性医疗保健，改善健康结果，降低护理成本，减少疾病 传播风险，但由于与人类极其接近， 机械.此外，患者交互极其多样，因此在 异常情况的“长尾”需要稳健和适应性的感知和决策。 为了解决这些安全性和可靠性问题，这个为期三年的项目将整合基础研究， 实时人体运动传感和机器人运动规划与眼科应用研究， 生物医学成像本研究将沿着沿着三个目标进行。目标1将建立机器人安装的传感仪器，通过扩大提案人在机器人对准光学领域的现有工作， 相干断层扫描成像与其他模态。目标2将通过利用 在传感器、实时人体跟踪、人体运动预测和机器人方面的最新技术进展 运动规划，以实施主动安全系统，消除机器人引发的碰撞， 人类发起的。目标3将通过对头部/眼部模型的大规模研究和对人类受试者的小规模研究，对安全性和可靠性进行评价和改进。
