Purpose The scope of the work is to present the state of the art of robotically assisted
surgical systems and to give a general idea about how technology can help today and …

Many keyhole interventions rely on bi-manual handling of surgical instruments, forcing the
main surgeon to rely on a second surgeon to act as a camera assistant. In addition to the …

With the advancement of robot technology, the use of a robot system to control an
endoscope during minimally invasive surgery has evolved significantly. Using a robot …

Automated laparoscope field of view (FoV) control in minimal invasive surgery (MIS) poses
challenges, as existing solutions failed to address dynamic surgical FoV requirements …

Robotic surgery is a promising direction to improve surgeons and assistants' daily life with
respect to conventional surgery. In this work, we propose solo laparoscopic surgery in which …

Smart laparoscope motion control for adjusting surgical field-of-view is an increasingly hot
topic in robot-assisted surgery. Previous off-the-shelf methods have been conducted in …

In this work, we investigate laparoscopic camera motion automation through imitation
learning from retrospective videos of laparoscopic interventions. A novel method is …

Introduction: Laparoscopic surgery often relies on a fixed Remote Center of Motion (RCM)
for robot mobility control, which assumes that the patient's abdominal walls are immobile …

Interaction between humans and robots is inevitable in robotic surgeries. The purpose of this
work is to enhance human-robot interaction for computer-assisted minimally invasive …

Thoracoscopic procedures require an assistant to hold and control the camera while the
surgeon performs the surgical task. This paper presents an approach in which surgeons can …
