    This study introduces a new method to analyze joystick movements during robot-assisted surgery. It reveals that expert surgeons use smooth, low-frequency control, unlike novices, enabling better skill assessment.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Robotics
    • Surgical Skill Analysis

    Background:

    • Robot-assisted vascular interventions require high precision in complex anatomy.
    • Current skill assessment metrics are insufficient for nuanced control differences.
    • External sensor approaches can obscure intrinsic surgeon dynamics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a framework for extracting surgical skill signatures from joystick control signals.
    • To differentiate expert from novice performance in robot-assisted endovascular procedures.
    • To enable quantitative assessment of surgical control stability.

    Main Methods:

    • Introduced a task-aware spectral modeling (TASM) framework.
    • Analyzed joystick control signals in the time-frequency domain.

  • Conducted in vivo rabbit experiments for validation.

    • Main Results:

    • Expert manipulation characterized by smooth, low-frequency rhythmic control (<5Hz).
    • Novice performance showed fragmented, high-frequency corrections.
    • TASM framework achieved high accuracy (0.992 ROC-AUC) in differentiating skill levels.

    Conclusions:

    • Low-frequency spectral components are indicative of expert surgical control.
    • The TASM framework offers a quantitative method for assessing surgical skill and stability.
    • Potential applications include training, evaluation, and identifying inconsistent control behaviors in endovascular procedures.
