Abstract

Robotic Scrub Nurse (RSN) is a developing research and a challenging issue in the field of medical robotics. Audio processing, wearing-sensor and computer vision are applied to control the robot that could support surgeons during surgeries as an alternative of human nurse. On the other hand, surgeons wish that RSN should be able to decide the correct action by recognizing surgical situations autonomously just like skilled human nurses. In general, surgical situations can be discriminated by surgeons' hand actions during surgeries. This article introduces and explains the authors' computer vision based method for recognizing surgical hand actions of surgeons from video sequences.
