ArXi:2604.02707v1 Announce Type: cross Humanoid robot technologies have nstrated immense potential for minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Unlike dedicated multi-arm surgical platforms, the inherent dual-arm configuration of humanoid robots necessitates an efficient instrument exchange capability to perform complex procedures, mimicking the natural workflow where surgeons manually switch instruments. To address this, this paper proposes an immersive teleoperated rapid instrument exchange system.
