Mastery, read in motion
One capability — pose & motion analysis — that quantifies human mastery across domains. The same AI reads a surgeon's precision, a dancer's grace, and a martial artist's discipline.
Not body-detection — mastery-detection
Commodity AI can find a person in a frame. The craft is reading how a master moves — tracking skeletal keypoints over time and turning them into the measures that actually matter. One pipeline; many kinds of expertise.
The same technique, across three worlds
Proof-of-concept.Frame-by-frame hand tracking on the Symani® joystick, shown here on a publicly broadcast Cedars-Sinai segment. The validated pipeline behind it goes further — dual instrument-tip tracking, segmentation-based vessel & tissue tracking, and dynamic focal-area zoom — developed and measured against real intraoperative research footage (not shown publicly; see results below).
Robotic microsurgery — the Symani® system at Cedars-Sinai
The AI reads:
- Instrument-tip path & steadiness
- Tremor & smoothness (velocity / jerk)
- Bimanual left–right coordination
- Vessel & tissue region tracking (segmentation-based)
→ Objective surgeon performance
Argentine tango — the lead's craft (with the artist's consent)
The AI reads:
- Posture & torso lean
- Cadence, stride, weight transfers
- Pelvis sway & torso–hip dissociation
- Lead–follow synchrony
→ Grace & partnered coordination
A traditional master's form (with the master's consent)
The AI reads:
- Stance stability & base
- Weight transfer & timing
- Balance through the strike
- Form consistency, rep to rep
→ Discipline & control
What the pipeline actually measures
The pipeline tracks instrument tips and vessel & tissue regions through a full case, and derives objective measures of technique from that motion. It has been validated on real intraoperative Symani® microsurgery research cases — footage and figures stay confidential, because patient privacy and our partners’ trust come first.
Quantitative results available under confidentiality
Validated tracking metrics from real intraoperative cases are shared with clinical and institutional partners under confidentiality — not published here.
One capability, many masters
A capability that reads mastery in the operating room can read it on the dance floor and in the dojo — because mastery, in any domain, shows up in how the body moves under intent. That is the whole HIOAI thesis in miniature: a master's mastery, quantified and rendered as craft AI — reusable, measurable, and yours.
And motion is only one lens. Motion AI is one capability among many — HIOAI builds full-stack applied AI across domains, from clinical decision-making to cybersecurity and governance. See how we build →
