Abstract

This work presents an approach to the evaluation of two interfaces for the control of a robotic surgical assistant. Each interface is associated to a different mode of controlling the system: by the surgeon (voice commands) or by the assistant (tactile interface). This two modes are allowed by the design of the manipulator, developed to occupy a small volume in the operating room. To evaluate the interfaces, a rating scale for teleoperated systems is proposed.
