Abstract
Objectives To date, no automated solution can anticipate or detect a request from a surgeon during surgical procedures without requiring the surgeon to alter his/her behavior. We are addressing this gap by developing a system that can pass the correct surgical instruments as required by the main surgeon. The study uses a manipulator robot that automatically detects and analyzes explicit and implicit requests during surgery, emulating a human nurse handling surgical equipment. This project constitutes an important step in a research project that involves other challenges related to operative efficiency and safety. At the 2016 QF Annual Research Forum Conference, we would like to present our preliminary results in the execution of the project. First, a description of the methodology used to acquire surgical team interactions during several cardiothoracic procedures observed at the HMC Heart Hospital, followed by the analysis of the data acquired. Secondly, experimental results of actual human-robot interact...
