Abstract :
We are developing integrated robotic system with needle insertion robot and biomechanical simulator to realize localized RFA therapy. In this paper, we introduce the following three key systems: Needle insertion robot, biomechanical physical liver model for deformation simulation and temperature distribution simulation.
