Surgical Manipulation Task

Surgical manipulation tasks, focusing on robotic assistance in minimally invasive procedures, aim to improve surgical precision, efficiency, and safety. Current research emphasizes developing robust control algorithms, including imitation learning, reinforcement learning, and visual servoing, often leveraging deep learning architectures for tasks like tissue manipulation, suturing, and instrument control. These advancements are facilitated by realistic surgical simulators and large, standardized datasets, enabling the development of more autonomous and effective robotic surgical systems. The ultimate goal is to enhance surgical training, improve surgical outcomes, and potentially expand access to complex procedures.
