ROBOTIC SURGERY SYSTEM WITH DYNAMIC AI ARBITRATION AND RISK-DRIVEN AUTONOMY
Inventors
William Brubaker, Paul Davis
Abstract
A robotic surgical system integrates artificial intelligence (AI) to enable dynamic inference arbitration and risk-driven autonomy. The system includes a surgeon console, robotic arms, and a control system with memory and processors configured to execute real-time surgical workflows. AI modules analyze intraoperative data, such as imaging, sensor input, and instrument telemetry, and compute context alignment scores to guide module selection, forecasting, and fallback execution. Confidence metrics are monitored, with thresholds triggering surgeon alerts, handoff, or autonomous continuation. The system supports intraoperative adaptation, surgeon fatigue detection, and real-time annotation of AI outputs for traceability. It enables improved tissue recognition, predictive planning, and context-aware adjustments through training on historical surgical data. AI-assisted decision support, deviation handling, and performance monitoring enhance safety and personalization across diverse procedures. The architecture supports modular deployment, continuous learning, and integration of multimodal data sources for precision-guided robotic surgery.
