Abstract
A computer-implemented method for control of a surgical device includes accessing raw data captured by a sensor of the surgical device during a procedure, filtering the raw data with a filter, generating a difference data based on a difference between the raw data and the filtered data, generating zero-crossing data based on determining a point in time where an amplitude of the difference data last crossed from a non-zero amplitude value through a zero amplitude value to a non-zero amplitude value of the opposite sign, providing the zero-crossing data as an input to a machine learning classifier, and predicting a probability of an end stop point based on the machine learning classifier. The end stop point includes a point in time where a knife of the surgical device ceases to cut tissue.
