Ken Goldberg's Augmented Dexterity Featured in R&D World

BCNM faculty member Ken Goldberg's "Augmented Dexterity" approach to surgery is featured in R&D World.

From the article:

Meanwhile, Intuitive—the developer of the da Vinci Surgical System—has been working on more sophisticated approaches to control, with CEO Gary Guthart and UC Berkeley professor Ken Goldberg introducing the concept of "augmented dexterity." Under this framework, a surgical robot can handle specific subtasks autonomously (e.g., suturing, debridement) while keeping the surgeon close at hand for critical decisions or complex maneuvers. By coupling advanced imaging and AI-driven guidance with real-time human supervision, Intuitive aims to bridge the gap between pure teleoperation and fully automated functionality.
