Short summary
In this paper, the preoperative planning algorithm is proposed, which makes the laparoscope provide a reasonable initial visual field. The algorithm offers significant improvements in planning time and quality for robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery. The improved method which combines the preoperative planning algorithm with deep reinforcement learning algorithm is applied to laparoscope arm automatic positioning. The algorithm provides a basis for the robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery.
