Autonomous Robotic Surgery: Will Your Next Surgeon Run on Caffeine or 120V?
ABSTRACT: Robotic assisted surgery (RAS) systems provide enhanced dexterity and precision but still require surgeons to control every motion, leading to long procedures and variable outcomes. While autonomous robotics has revolutionized manufacturing and aviation, soft tissue surgery presents unique challenges including unpredictable deformations and complex perception requirements. My research transforms teleoperated robotic surgery into autonomous […]
