An eye-tracking based robotic scrub nurse: proof of concept.

Journal: Surgical endoscopy
Published Date: Jun 8, 2021

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Within surgery, assistive robotic devices (ARD) have reported improved patient outcomes. ARD can offer the surgical team a "third hand" to perform wider tasks and more degrees of motion in comparison with conventional laparoscopy. We test an eye-tracking based robotic scrub nurse (RSN) in a simulated operating room based on a novel real-time framework for theatre-wide 3D gaze localization in a mobile fashion.
