GEYEDANCE at the Laser World of Photonics 2025

The 27th world’s leading trade fair and congress for photonics components, systems, and applications, “Laser World of Photonics 2025”, took place from June 22 to 27, 2025, at the ICM – International Congress Center Munich, in Germany.

Europe’s leading industry congress was complemented by three trade fairs: “Laser World of Photonics”, “World of Quantum”, and “automatics”. The event includes five conferences with over 3,000 scientific presentations and poster sessions.

The GEYEDANCE project was introduced at the renowned event, on June 24, 2025 at 4 p.m. by Dr. Gernot Kronreif (project coordinator and CSO of ACMIT Gmbh) in a panel presentation entitled: “GEYEDANCE – Robotics meets AI for eye surgical procedures.”

In his lecture he gave a talk about the GEYEDANCE system, a bilateral teleoperated microsurgery platform that integrates OCT at the end effector of its remote manipulator, providing multi-modal feedback. The system enables intraoperative eye modelling and surface reconstruction using a neural network-based tool-to-tissue distance estimation module.
