The rapid development of automatic control and robotics requires an innovative approach to teaching. This is especially important in the case of studies at the academic level and in vocational schools, where training with expensive robotic stations is necessary. A solution to this problem may be substituting these with augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) due to their significantly lower...
Purpose
To investigate the learning curve of robot‐assisted vitreoretinal surgery compared to manual surgery in a simulated setting.
Methods
The study was designed as a randomized controlled longitudinal study. Eight ophthalmic trainees in the 1st or 2nd year of their specialization were included. The participants were randomized to either manual or robot‐assisted surgery. Participants completed...
