Recent years have seen considerable advancements in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RMIS). To further reduce the invasiveness of RMIS, various robotic platforms have been developed to access the surgical site inside the patient’s body through a single port or even natural orifices. However, challenges persist in performing surgeries with these robotic systems, particularly in control, perception, and intellectualization. The era of embodied artificial intelligence (AI) has revealed the potential to address these challenges, enabling adaptation of medical robots to more complex tasks.
This special session explores the evolving landscape of RMIS, and focuses on the development of medical robots, along with the advancements of embodied AI and computer vision for surgery. The special session focuses on state-of-the-art advancements in medical robotics, and as well as broader interests on emerging technologies such as soft continuum robotics, computer vision, and embodied AI. Join MedAI-2024 with us as we uncover the future of medical robotics in the era of embodied AI, marked by improved surgical outcomes and surgeon-robot collaboration.
