Supervised Autonomous Bimanual Suction and Cauterization for Bleeding Control in Low Grade Splenic Trauma
Supervised Autonomous Bimanual Suction and Cauterization for Bleeding Control in Low Grade Splenic Trauma
This research presents a supervised autonomous bimanual robotic framework designed for injury cauterization in low-grade splenic trauma. The system integrates real-time bleeding segmentation, markerless tool keypoint tracking, and deep tool-tissue contact detection to coordinate two robotic arms for synchronized suction and cauterization. Evaluated on a novel, cannulated ex vivo splenic hemorrhage model, the system achieved an average bleeding surface cauterization coverage of 82.9% across seven distinct injuries, demonstrating the feasibility of using supervised autonomy for targeted coagulation.
The study demonstrates a supervised autonomous bimanual robotic framework achieving 82.9% average bleeding surface cauterization coverage on an ex vivo splenic hemorrhage model, representing a feasibility step toward autonomous bleeding control with human oversight.

arXiv:2611.00237v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Uncontrolled hemorrhage remains a leading cause of preventable trauma mortality. Timely intervention is not always available, making autonomous systems that can aid in bleeding control a promising alternative. Given the safety-critical nature of the task, supervised autonomy, in which the system executes the technical steps while a human retains oversight, represents a
