Applications of Reinforcement Learning for Autonomous Surgical Robotics: A Systematic Review
Reinforcement learning (RL) has emerged as a promising approach for autonomous surgical robotic subtasks. Recent advances include deep reinforcement learning (DRL), imitation learning (IL), and vision–language–action (VLA) models. However, current evidence remains fragmented across simulation benchmarks, task-specific...
