Abstract-Robotic surgery is transforming the current surgical practice, not only by improving the conventional surgical methods but also by introducing innovative robot-enhanced approaches that broaden the capabilities of clinicians. Being mainly of manmachine collaborative type, surgical robots are seen as media that transfer pre-and intra-operative information to the operator and reproduce his/her motion, with appropriate filtering, scaling, or limitation, to physically interact with the patient. The field, however, is far from maturity and, more critically, is still a subject of controversy in medical communities. Limited or absent haptic feedback is reputed to be among reasons that impede further spread of surgical robots. In this paper objectives and challenges of deploying haptic technologies in surgical robotics is discussed and a systematic review is performed on works that have studied the effects of providing haptic information to the users in major branches of robotic surgery. It has been tried to encompass both classical works and the state of the art approaches, aiming at delivering a comprehensive and balanced survey both for researchers starting their work in this field and for the experts.

“…It is the novel eye tracking and tactile feedback system that distinguish the ALF-X from other surgical robots. [9][10][11][12] This robot has been successfully applied to the clinic. The University of Washington developed RAVEN surgical robot with Phantom Omni haptic devices as master manipulators and four slave manipulators beside the sick bed.…”

A novel separate robotic system for minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has been presented in this paper. Control system architectures were designed, basing on versatile performance criteria. The compact control and mechanical structure were suitable for medical environment. Function and safety design satisfying medical application were integrated into the robot system as well. Additionally, intuitive control algorithm solved the problems of hand-eye incoordination and workspace mismatch between master hands and slave arms during the master-slave control process. A series of experiments have been accomplished to evaluate the performance of the robotic system at last. The results demonstrated that the robotic system was capable of executing surgical operation intuitively and implementing auxiliary functions perfectly, which meant that the control system was feasible and reliable.

Abstract. Bone drilling manipulation often occurs in the orthopaedic surgery. By statistics, nowadays, about one million people only in Europe need such an operation every year, where bone implants are inserted. Almost always, the drilling is performed handily, which cannot avoid the * Corresponding author e-mail: george@imbm.bas.bg. Unauthenticated Download Date | 5/9/18 11:41 PM 52 G. Boiadjiev, R. Kastelov, T. Boiadjiev, K. Delchev, K. Zagurski subjective factor influence. The question of subjective factor reduction has its answer -automatic bone drilling.The specific features and problems of orthopaedic drilling manipulation are considered in this work. The automatic drilling is presented according the possibilities of robotized system Orthopaedic Drilling Robot (ODRO) for assuring the manipulation accuracy, precision, reliability and safety.
