Post-stroke robot-aided neurorehabilitation is an emerging research field, aiming to improve the intensity and the effectiveness of post-stroke rehabilitation protocols by using robotic technology and virtual reality. One classification that has been proposed for therapy robots is between exoskeletons and end-effector based machines. The latter are those devices whose interaction with the patient's...
This paper presents a haptic teletobotic system designed to assist an operator during the execution of a multi- degrees of freedom teleoperation task. The system comprises a haptic master, a 3D visual feedback device, a slave robot, and a haptic server through which all the modules communicate. The use of the haptic server allows decoupling direct communication among all the devices involved in teleoperation...
Neurosurgery can take significant advantages from the introduction of computer and robot technologies. As a matter of fact, the major benefits of robots, such as precision, accuracy and repeatability make them ideal neurosurgeons' assistants. This paper presents a master-slave haptic robotic system for minimally invasive neurosurgery, which can aid surgeons in performing safer and more accurate stereotactic...
This paper deals with the problem of guiding an operator during the execution of a 5 degrees of freedom surgical teleoperation task. The work is focused on the feasibility of a spine surgery telerobotic system, made up of a haptic master, a slave robot, an optical tracking device and a main control unit. With this system, the surgeon performs a drilling operation by using a telerobotic device, being...
