Background: Robotic camera holders in laparoscopic surgery improve surgical efficiency and reduce the burden on medical specialists.
Methods: We propose a multi-task compliant control framework that integrates deep learning methods with robot kinematics. This framework addresses key challenges in surgical procedures, such as maintaining the remote center of motion (RCM) constraint and achieving autonomous field of view (FOV) adjustment.
Results: Experimental results demonstrate that our framework follows various trajectories with mean response time of less than 2 s, maximum RCM constraint error of less than 5 mm, mean tracking error of less than 20 pixels, and mean depth error of less than 2.5 mm. Additionally, its scalability enabled successful integration of a virtual fixture to prevent tissue collisions.
Conclusion: Our framework enables autonomous, rapid, and safe laparoscope manipulation, enhancing the continuity and efficiency of surgical procedures while conserving specialist healthcare resources.

Laparoscopic hepatectomy has gained widespread acceptance as a minimally invasive alternative to open liver resection, offering reduced postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery. Among its various techniques, laparoscopic right hemihepatectomy via the in situ anterior approach represents a significant advancement in oncological and surgical safety. Unlike conventional methods requiring full mobilization of perihepatic ligaments, this approach preserves the liver's anatomical position throughout resection.
