DOI: 10.1109/lra.2022.3186758
Abstract: In image-guided robotic surgery, there exist different endoscopes coupled either with specialized surgical robots (SSRs) or general industrial robots (GIRs). In general, SSRs mechanically respect the remote-center-of-motion (RCM) constraints with directly and explicitly controllable degrees-of-freedom… read more here.
