Cognitive Supervision for Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Laser Surgery

This thesis lays the groundwork for the automatic supervision of the laser incision process, which aims to complement surgeons' perception of the state of tissues and enhance their control over laser incisions. The research problem is formulated as the estimation of variables that are represent...
