Abstract

Robotic systems that are integrated in medical applications are designed to help and assist rather than injure a human being, whether it is the patient or the operator. This chapter presents the classification of medical robots as passive, semiactive, active, remote manipulators, and navigators. Some common kinematic structures of medical robots are provided, as are the fundamental requirements from medical robots. Finally, we discuss the main advantages and emerging trends in medical robotics.
