Research on the Progress of Autonomous Technology in Robot Assisted Surgery

Since the introduction of robotics technology into the operating room in the mid-1980s, doctors and researchers have been seeking to integrate higher intelligent technologies with robotic systems. Compared with conventional surgeries, surgical robot systems with higher intelligence often require higher security and accuracy, and can make decision adjustments through matching perception systems and the current surgical stage. Although a fully autonomous surgical robot system is still some distance from true clinical use. But with the accumulation and development of technology, robot intelligence technology with semi autonomy and partial doctor participation in decision-making will gradually be introduced into the operating room, providing a better platform for clinical surgery. This article mainly summarizes and prospects the current progress of robot assisted surgery and related intelligent technologies.
