As an undergraduate student , Dan Stoyanov became interested in computer vision systems while working on a project to see how a local transportation authority could use its surveillance system to count passengers at a busy London train station .
His mission ? Analyse the images taken by the authority ’ s cameras to come up with a way to ease congestion .
“ And then I was fortunate to meet a professor at Imperial College London who said , ‘ Well , why don ’ t we do this in surgery ?’ Stoyanov said . “ At the time , the first surgical robots were beginning to be used in clinical practice . While I had never thought about it before , it sounded exciting .”
Today , Stoyanov is a renowned expert in robot vision systems and known for his pioneering work using AI to capture and analyse surgical images . He is a professor at the Royal College of London where he leads the Robot Vision Scientific Research Group .
He is also one of the top AI experts at Medtronic who is leading the development of the Touch Surgery Ecosystem , which includes the first ever AI-powered surgical
