Surgical Robots and Medical Robots Systems
Laparoscopy, neurosurgery, orthopaedic surgery, emergency response, and many more areas of medicine are now impacted by robots. The capabilities of existing medical robot systems, with a primary focus on systems that are readily accessible on the market and a brief discussion of several significant research initiatives.
Trends that suggest future capabilities of medical robots can be seen by comparing robotic systems across disciplines and time, such as greater intraoperative image use, enhanced robot arm design, and haptic feedback to assist the surgeon.
