Abstract :
Telemedicine is rapidly developing branch of modern science being a hybrid of medicine & ICT. Mobile real time robotic system is preferred for telerounding compared to that of fixed type which is better choice for teleconsultation. Our new intelligent robotic system is specific for orthopaedic surgeon and economical for developing countries with additional monitoring features. Roboscope (Viewing robot) is preferred for non-interventional medical robots compared to Roboop (Operational robot) which are mainly responsible for telesurgery and other interventional procedures.
