A person is seated in the center with their hands covering their face, surrounded by a variety of medical instruments and supplies on tables. The tables are covered with green cloths, and there are items like syringes, scissors, bandages, and bottles. Two people in orange clothing are interacting with the person in the center. The setting appears to be a temporary medical or clinical setup.

Model Layer

Integrating robotic states with semantic outputs for strategies.

Previous Work

"Context-Aware Surgical Robot Navigation via Reinforcement Learning" (IEEE T-RO, 2022): Proposed Q-learning-based intraoperative path optimization but relied on handcrafted features.

"Multimodal Surgical Data Fusion with Transformers" (MICCAI, 2023): First attempt to fuse imaging and robotic data via Vision Transformers, yet excluded large language models.

"Explainable AI in Robotic Surgery: A Systematic Review" (Nature Machine Intelligence, 2024): Highlighted interpretability gaps in surgical AI, emphasizing the semantic-physical divide.

Collectively, these works show that current methods lack "end-to-end" semantic-physical joint modeling—a gap this proposal addresses via GPT-4 fine-tuning.
