Using Multi-Modal LLMs to Automate Blood Suction in Surgery

This research demonstrates how multi-modal Large Language Models can be used to create autonomous surgical robots capable of performing blood suction tasks without human intervention.

  • Combines vision-language processing with robotic systems to identify and respond to different types of bleeding during surgery
  • Achieves up to 90% success rate in experimental settings by integrating reasoning, decision-making, and action execution
  • Provides transparent explanations for all decisions, enhancing trustworthiness in critical medical contexts

This breakthrough represents a significant step toward surgical autonomy, potentially reducing surgeon fatigue and improving procedure efficiency while maintaining safety standards through explainable AI.
