## Summary

This paper proposes a closed-loop autonomous laparoscope control framework that couples real-time surgical phase recognition with camera-motion-compensated visual perception, using phase dependencies among surgical entities to improve target state estimation under occlusion and entity overlap. Surgical phase recognition and target tracking were evaluated on benchmark datasets, and phantom experiments showed improved target visibility and task execution performance compared with fixed-field-of-view control. The paper was submitted to IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters (RA-L).
