These examples are intended to illustrate typical project idea slide. However, there is no hard-and-fast rule. The key point is to indicate to students something about the project and why it might be exciting to do. Also, the topics can be quite varied. These are just examples and do not limit what can be proposed. Also note that some of these projects have obvious follow-ons, so it is perfectly fine to “reuse” a topic. Here is a powerpoint template for project idea slides.

• Automated segmentation of temporal bone CT imaging for robot-assisted microsurgery (2021)
• Robotic operation of ICU equipment in contagious environments (2021)
• Evaluation of virtual RCM for MIS (2021)
• GPU-based radiation therapy dose computation(2021)
• Vision for mosquito salivary gland extraction (2021)
• Integrating AI for reconstruction of the craniomaxillofacial skeleton (2021)
• Kinematic calibration and improved control of the Galen ENT robot (2021)
• Building an automated workflow for cooperatively controlled robotic mandibular surgery(2021)
• Kinematic calibration of the 3 DOF tilting mechanism for Eye Robot 3.0
