Performance and Capability Assessment in Surgical Subtask Automation

Abstract: Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery (RAMIS) has reshaped the standard clinical practice during the past two decades. Many believe that the next big step in the advancement of RAMIS will be partial autonomy, which may reduce the fatigue and the cognitive load on the surgeon by performing the monotonous, time-consuming subtasks of the surgical procedure autonomously. Although serious research efforts are paid to this area worldwide, standard evaluation methods, metrics, or benchmarking techniques are still… Show more

“…The application of novel methodologies to implement accurate systems to simulate the interaction between humans and robots advances the design of non-invasive strategies that provide medical support [ 53 ] or avoid risks in workplaces [ 54 ], such as collisions by using virtual sensors [ 55 ] or by human motion and behaviour prediction [ 56 , 57 ]. On the other hand, although Cobots are not yet fully accepted in industry, increasing evidence supports the valuable contribution of artificial intelligence in terms of feasibility and flexibility to achieve an improvement in security and communication [ 58 , 59 ].…”

“…The classification level of recognition is as follows: Level 1, awareness of the environment; Level 2, understanding the current status; and Level 3, prediction of the future status. The classification level of tasks, or Level of Task Complexity (LoTC), is as follows: LoTC 1, simple training tasks that are limited to surgical tasks such as distance considerations; LoTC 2, high training tasks; LoTC 3, simple surgical tasks; LoTC 4, advanced surgical tasks, such as suturing; and LoTC 5, complex surgical tasks, such as stopping sudden bleeding ( 30 ). The development of autonomous surgical robots should be aimed at accounting for the abovementioned classification levels.…”

“…In current breast conserving surgery 8 mm electromagnetic (EM) sensors are used for tracking. The clinical accuracy of indirect image-guided surgery should maintain 2-5 mm root mean square (RMS) accuracy [3]. When tracking surgical tools and tissues it is important that the sensors and technology do not interfere with the surgeon and medical staff.…”
