Robots in Medical Applications
In the recent years, robotic modules with their associated algorithmic software emerged in the surgery rooms. Here, some of their applications will be reviewed. They are used for orthopedic, brain and cardiac surgeries. Remotely operated robot in the surgery room are surgeon-controlled robots who...

Instrument tracking for robotic aided surgery
The success of complex fine-scale surgery depends heavily on surgeons’ agility, state of fatigue and their freedom to manipulate miniature instruments in the target organ. Internal organs can be reached by an insertion of flexible instruments through several small incisions in minimally invasive ...

Planning of screw insertion trajectory
Robotic assisted minimally invasive surgery has changed the face of surgery. The use of robotic aid in surgery can be traced back to the mid-1980s, when robotic systems were used to create precise incisions, cuts and drills. From the late 1990s onwards, robotic surgery has taken a leap forward wi...

Minimally Invasive Robotic Surgery
Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) has emerged as a paradigm shift in modern surgical practices dating back to the early 1990s. What is Minimally Invasive Surgery? It is a type of intervention done by performing a series of small skin incisions through which instruments are inserted and guided towa...
