Autonomy in Surgical Robotics: A Comprehensive Review
Autonomy in surgical robotics is an emerging area of research aimed at merging robotic systems with different degrees of autonomy in conducting surgical procedures. This shift in paradigm is significantly influenced by the increasing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) with surgical technology. While the majority of autonomous robotic systems are still in experimental stages, a considerable proportion have progressed into actual clinical applications. For instance, venipuncture, hair transplantation, anastomosis of the intestine, total knee arthroplasty, cochlear implantation, radiosurgery, and securing knots are representative of the autonomy capabilities of autonomous robotic surgery.
