Surgical Robotic System Project

Abstract

In this paper, we described the overview of JSPS research for the future program, Development of Robotic System for surgery and introduced some researches in this project. The aims of this project are 1) development of the master-slave manipulator system for minimally invasive liver surgery including deformable biomechanical liver model development and 2) development of the laser guidance system, the needle insertion robot and related technologies for orthopedic surgery. We made this study collaborating with Kyushu University and Osaka University. We also aim for practical use of surgical robot through promotion of business-academia collaboration.
