Abstract :
Robotic surgery aims minimum soft tissue damage and minimum operator intervention by employing automated, precise electro mechanical devices. In this project the hardware components of a 3 DOF prototype robot arm are being integrated and controlled with MSP430 microcontroller to operate a surgical end-effector that is aimed for orthopedic surgery.
