Embodied AI in the Operating Room: A Voice-Interactive Robotic Scrub Technician for Surgical Instrument Handoffs

2026-08-06

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Embodied artificial intelligence may extend surgical robotics beyond teleoperation by enabling robots to interpret natural-language commands, perceive dynamic environments, and generate adaptive physical actions. Surgical instrument exchange provides a clinically recognizable test case requiring communication, visual localization, dexterity, and bidirectional interaction. We...
