Abstract:
Complex and unstructured environments pose several challenges for traditional rigid robot technologies.
Inspired by biological systems, soft robots offer a promising alternative with respect to their rigid counterparts and demonstrate increased resilience and adaptation, resulting in machines that can safely interact with natural environments.

Abstract:
The da Vinci Research Kit (dVRK) is an open research platform that couples open-source control electronics and software with the mechanical components of the da Vinci surgical robot. This presentation will describe the dVRK system architecture, followed by selected research enabled by this system, including mixed reality for the first assistant, autonomous camera motion, and force estimation for bilateral teleoperation. The presentation will conclude with an overview of the AccelNet Surgical Robotics Challenge, which includes both simulated and physical environments.
