The DLR MiroSurge, a Robotic System for Surgery

This video presents the in-house developed DLR MiroSurge robotic system for surgery. As shown, the system is suitable for both minimally invasive and open surgery. An essential part of the system is the MIRO robot. In the video's minimally invasive robotic setup, three MIROs guide an endoscopic stereo camera and two endoscopic instruments with force feedback sensors. Versatility is shown with two additional applications. For assistance in manual minimally invasive surgery, a MIRO robot automatically guides the endoscope such that the surgical instrument is always in view. And in a biopsy application the MIRO robot is positioning the needle with navigation system support.
