Multisensory Integration for Identifying the Milling States in Robot‐Assisted Cervical Laminectomy
Diagram of the structure of the LSTM network model. The model starts with feature extraction of the input values by the LSTM layer, followed by output to the Linear layer, and finally the classification task is realized. ABSTRACT Objective In spinal surgery, precise identification of high‐speed bur milling states is crucial for patient safety.
