About

Jonas Osburg is a researcher at the forefront of robotic-assisted medical imaging and intervention, with a primary focus on vascular medicine. His work centers on developing autonomous systems that enhance the precision and safety of ultrasound-guided procedures, directly addressing critical challenges such as radiation exposure and the strain on medical staff. Osburg’s major contributions include pioneering methods for automatic robotic Doppler sonography of leg arteries, which aims to standardize vascular diagnostics, and developing deep neural networks to improve force estimation in robotic manipulators, a key step toward safer physical human-robot interaction. He has also advanced the field with generalized algorithms for automatic 3D ultrasound probe alignment, ensuring reproducible, high-quality imaging without human intervention. His research on robotic-assisted ultrasound-guided endovascular stent implantation demonstrates a practical pathway to reducing reliance on harmful X-rays during surgery. With over a dozen citations across his most-cited works, Osburg’s impact is already evident in the emerging field of medical robotics. His innovative approach to base placement and tool design further expands the reach of robotic ultrasound, marking him as a promising contributor to safer, more accessible vascular care.
