Ken Goldberg on Augmented Dexterity in Surgery
In his new Science Robotics paper on Augmented Dexterity, BCNM faculty member Ken Goldberg explores how robots could help close surgeons’ skill gaps and improve patient outcomes.
From the article:
With Augmented Dexterity, robots would develop and place digital images of planned maneuvers on top of live images of the surgical field. A human surgeon would review, edit and approve the plan, then supervise as the robot executes it. This could be applied to tasks like suturing and debridement, areas where surgeons’ skills vary and where small errors could harm patients.
