Robotics for Performing Surgical Operations

Robotics for Performing Surgical Operations

ABSTRACT:

Over the years robots have been widely used in manufacturing industries for material handling, welding, assembly, etc. Engineers and Doctors all over the world have joint hands for developing specialized robotic devices for performing surgical operations too. This paper presents a robotic system for precise needle insertion under radiological guidance for surgical interventions. It is compatible with portable X-ray units and computer tomography scanners. The system presents modular structure comprising global positioning, miniature robotic and radiolucent needle driver modules. The system may be operated stand alone under joystick control making it adaptable to operating rooms, or under full image guided computer control.
