Autonomy is the next frontier of research in robotic surgery and its aim is to improve the quality of surgical procedures in the next future.

One fundamental requirement for autonomy is advanced perception capability through vision sensors.

In this article, we propose a novel calibration technique for a surgical scenario with a da Vinci® Research Kit (dVRK) robot. Camera and robotic arms calibration are necessary to precise position and emulate expert surgeons. The novel calibration technique is tailored for RGB-D cameras.

SARAS will develop a cognitive architecture able to make decisions based on pre-operative knowledge and on scene understanding via advanced machine learning algorithms.

Training Data Collection – Assistant surgeon’s master console.

Dexterity and perception capabilities of surgical robots may soon be improved by cognitive functions that can support surgeons in decision making and performance monitoring, and enhance the impact of automation within the operating rooms.
