2A2-R06 Development of the operation interface for neurosurgery(Surgical Robotics and Mechatronics (1))

Abstract

In this paper, a surgical master console of the neurosurgical robotic surgery is presented. The most advantageous feature of the developed master console is that the console can be installed at surgical bedside, and operated by a surgeon in wearing surgical gloves. Therefore, the surgeon can easily convert between the conventional and robotic surgery. In addition, the developed master manipulator is compatible with motion input of conventional brain tumor surgery, to provide an intuitive interface.
