Supervised Autonomous Electrosurgery via Biocompatible Near-Infrared Tissue Tracking Techniques

Autonomous robotic surgery systems aim to improve patient outcomes by leveraging the repeatability and consistency of automation and also reducing human induced errors. However, intraoperative autonomous soft tissue tracking and robot control still remains a challenge due to the lack of structure, and high deformability of such tissues. In this paper, we take advantage of biocompatible Near-Infrar...
