    Abstract

    During a minimally-invasive surgical intervention,
    robot-assisted surgery may prove to offer a greater range
    of motion of surgical instruments and improved ergonomics
    for the surgeon, when compared to manual actuation
    techniques. Previously, we have developed the Advanced
    Robotics for Magnetic Manipulation (ARMM) system, which
    consists of two 6-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) surgical robots.
    Furthermore, we described the tracking, dynamics, and
    motions of these robots, indicating an overall 3D tracking
    accuracy of 2.4±0.4 mm and a mean joint velocity error of
    1.23 rad/s. In this work, we aim to demonstrate fully
    autonomous control of these robots in a clinically-relevant
    environment.
