Abstract :
The authors´ research of a surgical robot is focused now to design mechanical constructions which fulfil requirements for direct programming and interactive active-passive use. The work is the next step from studies of human factors for precision surgery and surgical applications of the robot, since the final goal being the clinical version for eye surgery or neurosurgery, for example. The latest results are presented in this presentation
