The digitization of surgery has influenced the way doctors execute their professional responsibilities, introducing intelligence and autonomy. This change will boost surgical competency and proficiency, enabling patients to achieve the best clinical results and safety at the point of service. This chapter presents an overview of robot autonomy in commercial application and research, focusing on the problems of designing autonomous surgical robots. Modern robotic surgical systems elevate precision as well as security by leveraging innovations in materials, imaging, and visualization technologies. Acoustic feedback technologies minimize injury risk and enable remote therapy delivery, whereas tele-operation eliminates geographical barriers and allows surgeons to execute multiple types of surgeries. Computer assistance is progressively gaining momentum in emerging robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RAMIS) systems. Enhanced manipulating capabilities, advanced sensors, superior vision, task-level automation, proactive safety features, and data integration indicate the beginning of an era of innovation in tele-surgical robots, combined with machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. Observing various fields, it becomes apparent that excellent quality data, obtained from efficient data gathering and communication, is a critical necessity for an effective AI which enables the establishment of real-time ML solutions.
