Towards an Autonomous Robot-Assistant for Laparoscopy Using Exteroceptive Sensors: Feasibility Study and Implementation
RA-L 2021
A new autonomous camera-holder robotic system for Laparoscopic Surgery (LS) is presented in this paper. In the proposed system, a 7-DoF collaborative robot holds and moves the laparoscope, or surgical camera, so that it permanently points towards the instruments' tips. A motion capture (MoCap) syste
