Robot Assisted Surgery and Training for Future Minimally Invasive Therapy

  • Conference paper
Robotics Research

Abstract

Advanced medical robotics based on the micro and macro mechatronics has been investigated by the author. Firstly, advantages of the medical robotics and unsolved issues for practical application are introduced. Secondly, safety “cybernetic actuator”, “hyper endoscope”, “remote minimal invasive surgery system with force sensation”, “virtual endoscope system with force sensation for clinical training” and “active micro forceps for retina micro surgery” are reported. Finally, prospect for medical robotics in future are discussed.
