Oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) imposes an increasing workload on even the most experienced surgeons due to long operation time, high skill requirements, limited observation field, constrained workspace, and fast-growing patient population. Robot-assisted OMS is particularly challenging, requir…
The application of humanoid robots is gaining attention as a solution to the caregiver shortage caused by an aging population. In this study, we automated the process of changing a patient’s body position from supine to lateral, a key aspect of nursing care. We proposed a method for recognizing a pa
Autonomous soft tissue manipulation in robotic surgery remains challenging. Modeling the tool-tissue interaction, analyzing the tissue structural deformation and monitoring the biomechanical status during surgery manipulation may benefit the development of autonomous surgery; however, there are curr
