Participant : Benoît Caillaud.

Benoît Caillaud is contributing to the SUNSET projects of the CominLabs excellence laboratory  (https://s3pm.cominlabs.u-bretagneloire.fr/fr). This project focuses on the computation of surgical procedural knowledge models from recordings of individual procedures, and their execution  [27]. The objective is to develop an enabling technology for procedural knowledge based computer assistance of surgery. In this project, we demonstrate its potential added value in nurse and surgeon training  [36], [35]. In 2018, Benoît Caillaud and Aurélien Lamercerie (SemLIS team of IRISA) have maintained and enhanced the Demodocos prototype software. This software is synthesizing surgical process models (expressed in the $♯$Seven language developed in the Hybrid team, Inria Rennes) from instances of surgical procedures. These models can be executed in a virtual reality environment developed by the Hybrid team.
