“…For instance, there is a Delta robot prototype that was developed in 2010 by NxtControl (http://www.nxtcontrol.com; http://vimeo.com/33566705) that is fully programmed and controlled with the IEC 61499 technology. This is why a similar Delta robot type (when customised and armed with the appropriate tools) can be used in surgical operations, as it has already been used for maxillofacial surgery (Lueth et al, 1998;Cleary and Nguyen, 2001). Furthermore, this implementation demonstrates how high speed and real-time control of robots can be achieved through this technology.…”

Plug-and-play control design and interoperability of medical devices has now become a decisive mission of technological research. One of the reasons for these requirements is the ever increasing attention that the medical sector is paying these days to specific treatments each individual patient requires which mandates having medical devices that are customisable and, more importantly, are able to interact with each other to handle more complex tasks and, as well, avoid more risks. Currently, vendor-specific devices and proprietary communication systems have hindered clinical environments from thoroughly reaching these goals. Thus, this paper concentrates on the software development aspect of medical devices and proposes a novel approach for the development of distributed control logic for them using modular, reusable and interoperable software components based on the IEC 61499 function blocks (FB). This technology enables the control design of the entire application to be in one software tool and consequently, alleviates design complexity and development time. Following that, it presents a simplified case study to exhibit the viability of this methodology to be exploited for control software design of medical and rehabilitation devices.Keywords: medical robotics; plug-and-play software components; medical devices; distributed control design; IEC 61499; function blocks; upper-limb rehabilitation device; biomechatronics; biomedical robotics.Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Sorouri, M., Vyatkin, V., Xie, S. and Salcic, Z.

“…23 According to Satava, ''the operating room of the future will be a sophisticated mix of stereo imaging systems, micro robots, robotic manipulators, virtual reality/ telepresence workstations, and computer integrated surgery.'' 24 A surgical robot system for maxillofacial surgery has been developed. With this system the surgeon interactively programs the robot during the surgery after which the robot performs the pre-programmed tasks.…”

ABSTRACT:The success of applying robotics to the medical field has opened a new frontier with vast areas for expansion and exploration; more specifically, robotics with dental application is a relatively untraveled area to pursue. It was introduced in the field of medicine and dentistry to increase precision, quality and safety of various procedures. The main aim of this paper was to review current research in the field of dental robotics. A review of literature was performed using electronic searching methods of Pub Med database and Google for the applications of robots in Dentistry. Specific keywords were used and the electronic search yielded around 87 articles out of which 30 articles were included based on predetermined criteria in the fields of dentistry. By pooling the extracted data from selected papers, the reviewed data was synthesized.

Although it has been over 15 years since the first recorded use of a robot for a surgical procedure, the field of medical robotics is still an emerging one that has not yet reached a critical mass. Although robots have the potential to improve the precision and capabilities of physicians, the number of robots in clinical use is still very small. In this review article, we begin with a short historical review of medical robotics, followed by an overview of clinical applications where robots have been applied. The clinical applications are then discussed; they include neurosurgery, orthopedics, urology, maxillofacial surgery, radiosurgery, ophthalmology, and cardiac surgery. We conclude with a listing of technology challenges and research areas, including system architecture, software design, mechanical design, imaging compatible systems, user interface, and safety issues.
