Toward human-robot collaboration in surgery: Performance assessment of human and robotic agents in an inclusion segmentation task

ICRA 2016

Increasing the level of autonomy in robot-assisted surgery has the potential to improve the safety, speed, and applicability of robot-assisted surgical systems. To facilitate the development and incorporation of robot autonomy in clinical settings, human-robot collaboration models have been suggeste

Models of human-centered automation in a debridement task

IROS 2015poster

In robot-assisted surgery, manipulation tasks can be achieved through collaboration among robotic and human agents. Collaboration models can potentially include multiple agents working towards a shared objective - a scenario referred to as multilateral manipulation. In this work, we examine multilat…
