Abstract
Applications of robotics in surgery to date have taken advantage primarily of the robot´s accurate positioning capability. Robotics technology could also be applied to a telerobotic microsurgical system with the surgeon dynamically controlling the manipulator. A first step toward developing such a system is to understand the surgeon´s grasp and dexterous movement strategies. Principles of the analysis of grasp are described
