Contrast-Free Autonomous Navigation of Untethered Endovascular Microrobots Using Single-Plane Fluoroscopy

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 31, 2026 · UTC

Reliable three-dimensional (3D) navigation of magnetically actuated untethered microrobots remains a major barrier to clinical translation. X-ray fluoroscopy is the standard real-time imaging modality for endovascular procedures, but single-plane fluoroscopy provides only a two-dimensional (2D) projection, eliminating depth information and complicating autonomous navigation. Recovering this information through biplane imaging or repeated contrast-enhanced angiography increases procedural complexity, radiation exposure, or contrast burden. Here, we introduce VISTA (Virtual Integration for Spati
