Introduction
Robotic surgery is basically the use of robotic
arms or tools during operation
Human interaction is still necessary for robotic
operations
We do not have actual autonomous robots that
function like actual surgeons…yet
Current surgical robots are controlled by voice,
remote, or joystick controls
The use of robotic arms allows for accuracy and
precision that is unmatched by a surgeon’s
hands
Brief History
Summary of process
Surgeon looks into viewfinder to examine 3D
images that is projected by a camera inside
the patient
Under the viewfinder screen, the surgeon sees the
instruments held by the arms and the surgical site
Underneath the screen are the controls for the
Endowrist instrument
Each time a joystick is moved, a computer sends
an electrical signal to an instrument, and moves
the robotic arm in sync with surgeon
