Last years many efforts have been made for developing “smart” biomedical devices, which can change in high level the way of the healthcare provision for a large amount of population. For instance, people who suffer from chronic diseases such as diabetes or neurological disorders, the elderly and some groups of people with special needs can easily check repeatedly many times per day their health...

With the advent in services such as telemedicine and telesurgery, provision of continuous quality monitoring for these has become a challenge network operators. Quality standards service... | Find, read cite all research you need on Tech Science Press

Minimally invasive surgical techniques, in particular laparoscopy, have many advantages over traditional surgery, most notably more rapid patient recovery. Limitations of current instrumentation, however, can make laparoscopic surgery awkward for the surgeon. A teleoperative surgical workstation would improve the surgeon's dexterity and control during laparoscopy. This report rst presents a bri...

The idea of robotic telesurgery dates back to the 1970s when the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) developed a project to utilize remotely controlled robots to perform surgeries on astronauts [1]. The history of robotic surgery begins in 1985, when Kwoh et al used a robot Puma 200, for performing neurosurgical biopsies with greater precision [2]. This was soon followed by the...

Robotic telesurgery is a promising application of robotics to medicine, aiming to enhance the dexterity and sensation of regular and minimally invasive surgery through using millimeter-scale robotic manipulators under the control of the surgeon. In this paper, the telesurgical system will be introduced with discussion of kinematic and control issues and presentation of in vitro experimental eva...

During the last years, a new field has attracted the interest of robotic researchers. Minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy, have grown as a very suitable domain for robotic systems. In this field, one of the easiest application for robotics is the movement of the endoscopic camera. That kind of robots [7][6] aims to move the camera from outside the patient’s abdomen to get the ima...
