daVinci/sup TM/, a surgical telerobot designed to provide enhanced dexterity to doctors performing minimally invasive surgical procedures is described, along with a discussion of the resulting computational architecture and recent clinical applications.Abstract:
The paper briefly describes daVinci/sup TM/, a surgical telerobot designed to provide enhanced dexterity to doctors performing minimally invasive surgical procedures. The rationale for a full 7-degree-of-freedom master-slave system is presented along with a discussion of the resulting computational architecture and recent clinical applications.read more

Medical robotics in computer-integrated surgery
TL;DR: A broad overview of medical robot systems used in surgery, including basic concepts of computer-integrated surgery, surgical CAD/CAM, and surgical assistants, and some of the major design issues particular to medical robots is provided.
Patent
Insertable device and system for minimal access procedure
TL;DR: In this article, a system and single or multi-functional element device that can be inserted and temporarily placed or implanted into a structure having a lumen or hollow space, such as a subject's abdominal cavity to provide therewith access to the site of interest in connection with minimally invasive surgical procedures.
Patent
Stabilizer for robotic beating-heart surgery
TL;DR: In this article, a region of the heart is stabilized by engaging a stabilizer without having to stop the heart, and the stabilizer is coupled to a drive system to position the surface from outside the patient, preferably by actuators of the robotic servomechanism.
Patent
Methods and systems for robotic instrument tool tracking with adaptive fusion of kinematics information and image information
TL;DR: In this article, a method for a robotic system to track one or more robotic instruments is described, which includes generating kinematics information for the robotic instrument within a field of view of a camera; capturing image information in the field-of-view of the camera; and adaptively fusing the kinematic information and the image information together to determine pose information of the robotic instruments.
