Architectural Layers & Navigation Stacks

Layer 1: Perception & SLAM Subsystem (3D LiDAR / RealSense RGB-D / Fast-LIO2 / Cartographer): High-frequency point cloud acquisition, IMU tightly-coupled pre-integration, and sub-centimeter real-time localization in dynamic environments.
Layer 2: Local Navigation & Model Predictive Control (TEB Local Planner / Timed-Elastic Band / Pure Pursuit): Real-time obstacle evasion, non-holonomic kinematic trajectory optimization, and dynamic ISO 3691-4 safety field switching.
Layer 3: Interoperability, Middleware & Fleet Bus (VDA 5050 v2.1 / ROS 2 Jazzy / Eclipse Zenoh / CycloneDDS): Standardized JSON/MQTT order ingestion, zero-copy intra-node IPC, and deterministic low-latency state reporting across multi-vendor fleets.
Layer 4: Swarm Orchestration & Traffic Optimization (Conflict-Based Search (CBS-MAPF) / Dynamic Block Reservation): Centralized or decentralized conflict-free multi-agent path finding, automated opportunity battery charging, and bottleneck mitigation.

Telemetry & Compliance: ±5 mm (Positioning Accuracy) | <8 ms (Fleet Dispatch Latency) | <12 ms (Safety Stop Reaction) | VDA 5050 v2.1 (Open Fleet Standard)

Micro-Haptics & Multi-Arm Coordinated Surgery in SurgicalSwarm

Minimally invasive tele-surgery demands sub-millimeter tool dexterity, hand-tremor cancellation, and absolute zero-backlash force feedback. SurgicalSwarm defines full-stack architectural standards for multi-arm surgical robotic systems.

Core Engineering Areas

Cooperative Multi-Arm Kinematics in Constrained Cavities — Inverse kinematic solvers optimized for trocar remote centers of motion (RCM) and multi-arm collision avoidance in abdominal cavities.
Sub-Millimeter Haptic Teleoperation and Tremor Filtering — High-fidelity bilateral teleoperation reflecting delicate tissue resistance back to surgeon master grips without phase delay.
Intraoperative Endoscopic 3D SLAM and Dynamic Soft-Tissue Tracking — Real-time 3D reconstruction of deforming organ surfaces and augmented reality overlays of preoperative MRI/CT tumor margins.
