A robotic system was designed and developed to perform the camera handling task during
laparoscopic surgery. The system employs an effective low cost mechanism, with a minimum …

Considering the loss of direct visual and tactile information, surgeons require special
training programs to obtain sufficient proficiency for laparoscopic surgery. Surgical training …

Background Secure grasping and effective manipulation of delicate large organs during
robotic surgery operations needs especially designed instruments that can enclose a large …

With the increasing trend toward Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) procedures, the need to
develop new robotic systems to facilitate such surgeries is more and more recognized. This …

In order to improve dexterity and tactile feedback during grasping in laparoscopic surgery, a
pressure-sensing, ergonomic laparoscopic grasper with parallel motion grasper jaws has …

Application of robotic instruments in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has been developing
in recent years. The urge to implement biocompatible and less invasive devices found way …

The currently available laparoscopic instruments are unable to manipulate and grasp the
large intra-abdominal organs, such as spleen and kidney, with sufficient stability and safety …

With smaller incisions, laparoscopic, or minimally invasive, surgery is considered safer for
patients than open surgery. However, the safety of current laparoscopic grasping …

The working body usually called the gripper in manipulators is an essential component of
industrial automation systems. They are designed to hold and manipulate objects with …

In this paper, a 4-DOF robotic arm for tool handling in laparoscopic surgery is introduced.
The robot provides sufficient force to handle endoscopic tools used for large organ …
