Robot trained on surgery videos performs as well as human docs
A breakthrough training system that uses imitation learning opens a "new frontier" in medical robotics, researchers say.
“It’s really magical to have this model and all we do is feed it camera input and it can predict the robotic movements needed for surgery,” says senior author Axel Krieger, an assistant professor in Johns Hopkins University’s mechanical engineering department. The researchers fed their model hundreds of videos recorded from wrist cameras placed on the arms of da Vinci robots during surgical procedures. “All we need is image input and then this AI system finds the right action,” says lead author Ji Woong “Brian” Kim, a postdoctoral researcher at Johns Hopkins.
