Magnetically-driven surgical tools are a new class of millimetre-scale devices that could enable procedures such as minimally invasive neurosurgery due to their high dexterity at a small size. However, safe and effective control of these magnetic tools necessitates real-time observation of tool join
Surgical tasks such as tissue retraction, tissue exposure, and needle suturing remain challenging in autonomous surgical robotics. One challenge in these tasks is nonprehensile manipulation such as pushing tissue, pressing cloth, and needle threading. In this work, we isolate the problem of nonprehe
Autonomous surgical robotics is a growing area of research, with advances being made in the areas of vision and control. Central to this research is the need for simulations to facilitate data collection and simulate learning environments for Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents. Recent simulators hav…
