DASH: A da Vinci Adapter for Serial-link and Humanoid Robots as an Accessible Platform for Surgical Robotics Research

Robotic minimally invasive surgery offers well-documented clinical benefits, but the cost and infrastructure requirements of purpose-built platforms limit access in rural and lower-resourced facilities. Recent work has teleoperated general-purpose robots for laparoscopic tasks and in vivo procedures, but relied on hand...
