机器人辅助手术正向数据驱动的自主化演进,基于强化学习(RL)或模仿学习(IL)的策略虽能完成复杂任务,但其‘黑箱’特性缺乏形式化安全保证,难以临床部署。本文提出安全保障型手术策略(SSP)框架,利用神经常微分方程(Neural ODEs)从示范数据中学习不确定性感知的动力学模型,进而构建鲁棒的控制屏障函数(CBF)安全控制器。该控制器在不确定条件下以最小扰动修正手术策略动作,确保严格安全。其约束分为行为约束(限制任务空间)与空间约束(定义手术禁区)。我们在SurRoL仿真环境和da Vinci Research Kit(dVRK)平台上验证了该方法,相比无约束基线,实现了近乎零的约束违反率,同时维持高任务成功率。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The paradigm of robot-assisted surgery is shifting toward data-driven autonomy, where policies learned via Reinforcement Learning (RL) or Imitation Learning (IL) enable the execution of complex tasks. However, these ``black-box" policies often lack formal safety guarantees, a critical requirement for clinical deployment. In this paper, we propose the Safety-guaranteed Surgical Policy (SSP) framework to bridge the gap between data-driven generality and formal safety. We utilize Neural Ordinary Differential Equations (Neural ODEs) to learn an uncertainty-aware dynamics model from demonstration data. This learned model underpins a robust Control Barrier Function (CBF) safety controller, which minimally alters the actions of a surgical policy to ensure strict safety under uncertainty. Our controller enforces two constraint categories: behavioral constraints (restricting the task space of the agent) and spatial constraints (defining surgical no-go zones). We instantiate the SSP framework with surgical policies derived from RL, IL and Control Lyapunov Functions (CLF). Validation on in both the SurRoL simulation and da Vinci Research Kit (dVRK) demonstrates that our method achieves a near-zero constraint violation rate while maintaining high task success rates compared to unconstrained baselines.
