Autonomous Tissue Retraction with Haptic Feedback
Abstract
We hypothesize that force-aware autonomous systems will have higher success rate and be more gentle with tissue in surgical robotics tasks requiring physical interaction, compared to force-agnostic ones. This work validates this hypothesis using imitation learning.
