Abstract :
This paper presents the architecture of a telerobotic system for minimally invasive surgery. The goal is to offer a tool able of making possible different schemes of tele-collaboration, and using standard TCP/IP communication networks to provide a wider range of possible remote locations. Its design comprises a several modules, including a manipulator specially conceived for laparoscopic surgery
