Abstract

With rapid advancements in medicine and engineering technologies, the operating room has evolved to a highly complex environment, where surgeons take advantage of computers, endoscopes and robots to perform procedures with more precision while less incision. Intelligence, together with its authorized cognitive assistance, smart data analytics, and automation, is envisaged to be a core fuel to transform next-generation robotic surgery in numerous known or unknown exciting ways. In this talk, I will present ideas, methodologies and applications of image-based robotic surgery intelligence from three perspectives, i.e., AI-enabled surgical situation awareness to improve surgical procedures, AI-powered large-scale data analysis to enhance surgical education, AI-driven multi-sensory perception to achieve surgical subtask automation.
