Abstract :
This study firstly describes current status of surgical robot development and various social barriers for clinical application such as pre-clinical evaluation study, governmental authorization, and commercialization. And then a novel experimental platform as an evaluation environment of newly developed medical devices is proposed. As model cases of evaluation study, MR scanning and surgeries were conducted in “intelligent animal operating room”.
