Themenabend: Can you feel it? Tactile Internet on the rise

Durch Sensoren und Aktoren bestehen Interaktionsmöglichkeiten, die über vertraute Ton und Video-Konferenzen hinausgehen. Das heutige Internet zeigt jedoch deutliche Grenzen bzgl. Anforderungen an Übertragung (Realzeit, Latenz). Der Exzellenzcluster „Centre for tactile Internet with Human-in-the-loop” (CeTI) der TU Dresden will die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Mensch und Maschine auf eine neue Stufe heben und Menschen in die Lage versetzen, in Echtzeit mit vernetzten automatisierten Systemen in der realen oder virtuellen Welt zu interagieren. An diesem Themenabend geben Mitarbeiter des CeTI Einblicke in Aspekte des „Taktilen Internets“ (TI).

Talk 1: Tactile Internet with Human-In-The-Loop

The speaker:  Frank H.P. Fitzek is Professor and head of the “Deutsche Telekom Chair of Communication Networks” at TU Dresden coordinating the 5G Lab Germany and spokesman of the DFG Cluster of Excellence CeTI. He studied electrical engineering at the RWTH Aachen and earned his Ph.D. from the TU Berlin. He was Professor at Universities in Ferrara and Aalborg and co-founded several start-up companies (e.g. acticom GmbH). He won a variety of prizes (YRP, Nokia, SAPERE AUDE) and was awarded a Dr. h.c..

Abstract: The talk will address the technology needed to build up the tactile Internet for different use cases such as medicine, industry 4.0, and Internet of skills. Main focus is on low latency and ultra-reliable communication and how it can be realized in softwarized networks.

Current technologies such as 5G are discussed to enable the tactile Internet. Furthermore, the talk will highlight inter disciplinary research on tactile Internet with focus on psychology and medicine building the required human to machine interfaces to have mutual learning between humans and machines.

Talk 2: AI-assisted Surgery – Perspectives and Challenges

The speaker:  Stefanie Speidel is professor for “Translational Surgical Oncology” at the National Center for Tumor Diseases Dresden and one of the co-speakers of CeTI. She received her PhD from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (“Intelligent Surgery”) and had a junior research group “Computer-Assisted Surgery”. Her current research interests include image- and robot-guided surgery, soft-tissue navigation, sensor-based surgical training and intraoperative workflow analysis based on various sensor signals in the context of the future operating room. She has been (co)-authoring more than 100 publications, organizes workshops including the Endoscopic Vision Challenge@MICCAI as well as the Surgical Data Science workshop.

Abstract: The rooms (OR), featuring digital and interconnected as well as robotic devices provide a huge amount of valuable data which can be used to improve patient therapy. Although a lot of data is available, it is an overwhelming challenge for physicians and the surgical outcome is extremely dependent on the experience of the surgical staff. In this talk, I’ll present my research regarding cognitive systems in the context of surgery as enabler for AI-assisted surgery. The goal is to bridge the gap between data science, sensors and robotics to enhance the collaboration between surgeons and cyber-physical systems and to democratize surgical skills by quantifying surgical experience and make it accessible to machines. Several examples to optimize the therapy of the individual patient by turning the available data into useful information are given.

Finally remaining challenges and strategies to overcome them are discussed.

 

Talk 3: Multisensory perception across the lifespan: Implications for Technologies for Tactile Internet AI-assisted Surgery

The speaker:  Shu-Chen Li is professor and head of the Chair of Lifespan Developmental Neuro-science at TUD as well as a speaker of CeTI. She received her Ph.D. degree in cognitive psychology from the University of Oklahoma. After working at the McGill University in Canada, she continued her research at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development until she took up the professorship at TUD. She was also adjunct professor of the Brain Research Center in the College of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the National Chiao-Tung University in Taiwan.

A key aspect of her research focuses on understanding brain mechanisms of neuronal gain control and their implications on age-related differences in perception and cognition across the human life span. For several years she served as the associated editor of Developmental Psychology, one of the flagship journals of the American Psychological Association.

She is currently a member of the editorial board of Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews. Since 2020 she is also a member of the selection committee for the German Thesis Award sponsored by the Körber-Stiftung.

Abstract: Next generation digitally transmitted communication and interaction that will become possible through the Tactile Internet (TI) will involve closed-loop multisensory information processing of the interaction partners, be it between human and machine or between human and human.

This presentation will give an overview of development and aging-related changes in mechanisms of neuronal gain control, which, in turn, affect the reliability and capacity of human perception and action.

For TI to optimally serve a broad population of users for Internet-of-Skill applications, age- and learning-dependent human factors of multisensory perception need to be considered en route technological developments. Our ongoing research at the interface between some of these human factors and the development of tactile codecs as well as VR-assisted technologies will be highlighted.
