Robotic surgical safety via video processing

A robotic surgical device comprising:

• a processor;
• a camera;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium having processor-executable instructions stored thereupon, which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• identify, using one or more images of a surgical procedure captured by the camera during a robotic surgical procedure, one or more surgical tools used in the surgical procedure;
• predict, for at least one of the one or more images, one or more loaded surgical tools that are loaded during the surgical procedure and should be in a field of view of the camera;
• compare the one or more identified surgical tools with the one or more loaded surgical tools;
• determine that at least one of the one or more loaded surgical tools does not match any of the one or more identified surgical tools;
• and
• cause the at least one loaded surgical tool of the robotic surgical device to be disabled.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising processor-executable instructions to cause a processor to:

• identify, during a robotic surgical procedure, one or more surgical tools using one or more images of the robotic surgical procedure captured by a camera, the robotic surgical procedure employing a robotic surgical device controlling the one or more identified surgical tools;
• predict, for at least one of the one or more images, one or more loaded surgical tools that are controlled by the robotic surgical device and should be in a field of view of the camera;
• compare the one or more identified surgical tools with the one or more loaded surgical tools;
• determine that at least one of the one or more loaded surgical tools does not match any of the one or more identified surgical tools;
• and
• cause the at least one loaded surgical tool of the robotic surgical device to be disabled.
