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...

Efficient and robust tracking of surgical robotic instruments is important for robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery, yet remains challenging due to the complexity of surgical scenes and the unconventional geometry of surgical instruments. Keypoint-based approaches are efficient, but their performance depends on re...

Rapid advances in humanoid robotics have motivated growing interest in the application of humanoids for healthcare and clinical tasks. However, it remains unclear how close contemporary humanoids are to meeting the kinematic demands of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery. In this work, we address the question of optima...
