Purpose Surgical workflow and skill analysis are key technologies for the next generation of
cognitive surgical assistance systems. These systems could increase the safety of the …

Background We demonstrate the first self-learning, context-sensitive, autonomous camera-
guiding robot applicable to minimally invasive surgery. The majority of surgical robots …

Many keyhole interventions rely on bi-manual handling of surgical instruments, forcing the
main surgeon to rely on a second surgeon to act as a camera assistant. In addition to the …

This article designs and analyzes a recurrent neural network (RNN) for the visual servoing of
a flexible surgical endoscope. The flexible surgical endoscope is based on a commercially …

In minimally invasive surgery, endoscopes serve as the eyes of surgeon. To avoid fatigue in
manual endoscope steering, robotic endoscope holders have been developed …

In minimally invasive surgery applications, the use of robotic manipulators is becoming more
and more common to enhance the precision of the operations and post-operative processes …

In minimally invasive surgery (MIS), a number of instruments are inserted into the surgical
cavity via the trocar (s), which makes the surgical site crowded and instruments tend to fence …

This letter presents the first case of implementing visual servo control on a magnetic
anchored endoscope. The novel magnetic actuated endoscope is designed for uniportal …

In image-guided robotic surgery, there exist different endoscopes coupled either with
specialized surgical robots (SSRs) or general industrial robots (GIRs). In general, SSRs …

In this paper, we proposed an autonomous robotic flexible endoscope system for the
laparoscopic bariatric surgery (LBS). This system comprises a UR5 robot and a flexible …
