Abstract
A computer system, a computer-readable medium, and a computer-implemented method for robot-assisted suturing is disclosed. The computer-implemented method includes determining, by a suture planner algorithm executed by a hardware processor, a desired location for a suture for a potential suture location on a treatment area on a patient and determining which sutures from the suture planner algorithm can be done autonomously and which sutures may require human intervention to be performed.
