Abstract

Lack of force feedback and need for dexterous hand movement makes mastering the da Vincireg surgical system (DVSS) a challenging task. As a solution, we present our robotic surgical simulator (RoSS) system as a means of training for DVSS. In this research, we have developed a two handed 6 DOF virtual reality trainer for acquiring basic skill sets that are needed to perform surgery successfully using DVSS. In this paper we discuss the mapping between RoSS and DVSS master´s and the preliminary skill training modules.
