Abstract
None:
Most medical robots depend on human operators for sensing, decision-making, and action during procedures. Future progress depends on enabling robots to take on these capabilities. Although learning-based approaches provide remarkable promise toward achieving this goal, notable challenges must be addressed to unlock these robots' full potential in clinical settings.
