This paper provides an overview of recent trends and developments in medical robotics for
minimally invasive soft tissue surgery, with a view to highlight some of the issues posed and …

In just over a decade, robotic surgery has penetrated almost every surgical subspecialty and
has even replaced some of the most commonly performed open oncologic procedures. The …

Abstract Background The Trauma Pod (TP) vision is to develop a rapidly deployable robotic
system to perform critical acute stabilization and/or surgical procedures, autonomously or in …

Cable conduit actuation provides a simple yet dexterous mode of power transmission for
remote actuation. However, they are not preferred because of the nonlinearities arising from …

Purpose Using robotic technology and communications infrastructure to remotely perform
surgery has been a persistent goal in medical research in the past three decades. The …

Surgical robots offer the exciting potential for remote telesurgery, but advances are needed
to make this technology efficient and accurate to ensure patient safety. Achieving these …
