A Self-Adaptive IoT-based Approach for Improving the Decision Making of Active Surgical Robots in Hospitals [PDF]
In recent years, surgical robots have become instrumental tools for assisting surgeons in performing complex surgical procedures in hospitals. Unlike conventional surgical methods, robotic systems help surgeons, for example, to perform minimally invasive surgical procedures while enhancing the precision and control of operations (e.g.

Learning Multi-modal Representations by Watching Hundreds of Surgical Video Lectures [PDF]
Recent advancements in surgical computer vision applications have been driven by vision-only models, which do not explicitly integrate the rich semantics of language into their design. These methods rely on manually annotated surgical videos to predict a fixed set of object categories, limiting their generalizability to unseen surgical procedures and ...
