“…Two robots are carrying actuated and sensor integrated surgical instruments (Figure 3 bottom right) which provide additional DoF. The third is used as an automated robotic camera guidance system (Wei et al, 1997;Omote et al, 1999). The robotic arms are lightweight and dimensions are optimized for surgical applications, performing with the highest possible manipulability, dexterity, and accuracy in the important minimally invasive application areas of abdominal and cardiac surgery (Konietschke et al, 2003).…”

“…All instruments are equipped with a color marker at the tip. Provided, the same color is not normally present at the operation site, the marker can be segmented from www.intechopen.com the video image with a high degree of robustness (Wei et al, 1997;Omote et al, 1999). Following the segmented positions a trajectory can be calculated which generates the target trajectory for the camera guidance robot.…”

“…Problems of cooperation between the two individuals naturally arise, and a robotic assistant which automatically controls the laparoscope can offer a highly reliable alternative to this situation. In this section a autonomous laparoscopic guidance system for laparoscopic surgery is described, developed at the DLR's robotics lab and thoroughly tested at MRIC (Department of Surgery at the Klinikum rechts der Isar (MRIC) of the Technical University of Munich) Omote et al, 1999). A robot holds the laparoscope and directs it to the operative field by means of image processing techniques.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
