Abstract: Nowadays robotic technology provides massive advantages over traditional procedures, including shorter hospitalization and rehabilitation time, and less pain and discomfort. This paper presents the fundamental requirements of a surgical robot, its applications, advantages and disadvantages of different topologies and concludes with a comparison between surgical robots and surgeons.
Keywords: Medical robots, surgery.
