Researchers from the Regional Center of Excellence for Robotic Technologies (CRTA) and a visiting student successfully presented four scientific papers at the 35th International Robotics Conference RAAD 2026, held in Bratislava. The papers presented cover current research in the fields of medical robotics, autonomous driving and maritime autonomy, confirming CRTA's continuous contribution to the development of advanced robotic and autonomous systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the field of medical robotics, two papers created as part of the PRONOBIS project were presented. Maha Touri presented the paper \"Optimization of Robot Base Placement for Prostate Biopsy Planning\", which deals with the optimization of robot base placement for prostate biopsy planning. Matija Markulin presented the paper \"Visual Servoing Based Patient Movement Compensation for Prostate Biopsy Procedure\", focused on the compensation of patient movement during the prostate biopsy procedure using methods of visual control of the robot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the field of autonomous driving, Luka \u0160iktar presented the paper \"Autonomous Overtaking Trajectory Optimization Using Reinforcement Learning and Opponent Pose Estimation\", which investigates the optimization of the overtaking trajectory of autonomous vehicles using reinforced learning and estimation of the position of other traffic participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luka \u0160iktar's second paper, \"MARINERO: Robot Digital Twin for Simulation of Autonomous Navigation in Nautical Marinas\", presented a digital twin of a robotic system for simulating autonomous navigation in nautical marinas. The research was conducted in collaboration with the company Probotica d.o.o. as part of the MARINERO project being developed at Marina Punat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Special success was achieved through international recognitions awarded to CRTA's works in the category of applications of robotic technologies. The work \"Visual Servoing Based Patient Movement Compensation for Prostate Biopsy Procedure\" won the Best Application Award, as the best work in the category of applications. The research is the result of cooperation between CRTA, the Faculty of Medicine, University of Zagreb and the company Ronna Medical, and the authors of the work are Matija Markulin, Luka \u0160iktar, Josip Jurdana, Luka Matijevi\u0107, Tin Zekuli\u0107, Filip \u0160uligoj, Bruno \u0160ekoranja, Tomislav Kuli\u0161, Tomislav Hudolin and Marko \u0160vaco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
