Robots can perform multiple tasks in parallel. This work is about leveraging this capability in automating multilateral surgical subtasks. In particular, we explore, in a simulation study, the benefits of considering this parallelism capability in developing execution models for autonomous robotic s
In this paper, we evaluate the effect of increasing camera baselines on depth perception in robot-assisted surgery. Restricted by the diameter of the surgical trocar through which they are inserted, current clinical stereo endoscopes have a fixed baseline of 5.5 mm. To overcome this restriction, we…
In this letter, we propose a training approach combining hand-over-hand and trial and error training approaches and we evaluate its effectiveness for both robotic and standard laparoscopic surgical training. The proposed approach makes use of the data of an expert collected while using the da Vinci
