Surgical WAM: A World-Action Model for Data-Efficient Surgical Robot Learning
Learning reliable surgical manipulation policies is bottlenecked by the scarcity of action-labeled demonstrations: teleoperated surgical robot (e.g., dVRK) trajectories with synchronized kinematics are costly to collect, while surgical tasks demand precise contact handling, long-horizon reasoning, and bimanual coordination. Endoscopic video is comparatively inexpensive and abundant relative to…
