Abstract

The paper briefly describes daVinci/sup TM/, a surgical telerobot designed to provide enhanced dexterity to doctors performing minimally invasive surgical procedures. The rationale for a full 7-degree-of-freedom master-slave system is presented along with a discussion of the resulting computational architecture and recent clinical applications.
