Description
This ARPA-H SBIR Phase II project aims to develop an 'autonomous' minimally invasive surgery approach, enhancing outcomes in procedures like laparoscopic cholecystectomy through advanced robotic tools and a 'smart' vision framework. The research team will explore whether the novel robotic platform can elevate the safety and efficiency of gallbladder removal surgery by integrating supervised autonomy. The need for the project is driven by the current trends in surgical care to minimize complications and make medical care more quantitative and repeatable. Grounded in advanced surgical vision and a robust perception framework, this project signifies a significant leap forward in surgical robotics
