• Abstract: Robotic surgery has increased the domain of surgeries possible. Several examples of partial surgical automation have been seen in the past decade. We break down the path of automation tasks into features required and provide a checklist that can help reach higher levels of surgical automation. Finally, we discuss the current challenges and advances required to make this happen.

  In transurethral suburethral urological surgical robots, they need to work in a liquid environment. This causes vaporization of the liquid when shearing and heating is performed, resulting in bubble atomization. We propose an unsupervised zero-shot dehaze method (RSF-Dehaze) for urological surgical robotic vision.

  Surgery digitalization is the process of creating a virtual replica of real-world surgery. We present a proof of concept (PoC) for surgery digitalization that is applied to an ex-vivo spinal surgery. We employ five RGB-D cameras for dynamic 3D reconstruction of the surgeon, a high-end camera for 3D reconstruction of the anatomy, an infrared stereo camera for surgical instrument tracking, and a laser scanner for 3D reconstruction of the operating room and data fusion.
