Abstract :
In pelvic-acetabular surgery, it is extremely important to position the tools accurately and precisely for drilling and milling operations. Thanks to the advanced robotics technology in recent years, some of the industrial robotics arms are able to achieve good repeatability and dexterity while positioning the surgical tools. Compatibility in the operation room is another concern while using the commercial available robots. In this article, we investigate the existing studies on the orthopedic compliant robot arms, together with our proposals for the pelvic surgery.
