Can Artificial Intelligence Revolutionise Robotic Surgery?

In its recently published report "Innovations in Robotic Surgery 2020-2030: Technologies, Players & Markets", IDTechEx reports that the robotic surgery market will reach over $12 billion by 2030. The rapid progress of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in the last 5-10 years has led many to associate it with robotic surgery systems. Currently, however, few robotic surgery systems are equipped with AI-driven human-robot interaction capabilities. AI offers numerous opportunities for the advancement of robotic surgery. It can facilitate interaction mediums between surgeons and surgical robots, for example by recognizing surgeons' movements (e.g.
