Within the past twenty years, the field of robotics has been
finding many areas of applications ranging from space to underwater
explo rations. One of these areas which is slowly gaining
popularity among the users group is the notion of service robotics.
This book is an in vestigation and exploration of engineering
principles in the design and development of mechanisms and robotic
devices that can be used in the field of surgery. Specifically the
results of this book can be used for designing tools for class of
Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS). Generally, Minimal Invasive
Surgery (MIS), e. g. laparoscopic surgery, is performed by using
long surgical tools, that are inserted through small incisions at
the ports of entry to the body (e. g. abdominal wall) for reaching
the surgical site. The main drawback of current designs of en
doscopic tools is that they are not able to extend all the
movements and sensory capabilities of the surgeon's hand to the
surgical site. By im proving surgical procedures, training, and
more practice, it is possible for surgeons to reduce completion
time for each task and increase their level of skill. However, even
in the best cases the level of performance of a surgeon in
Minimally Invasive Surgery is still a fraction of the con ventional
surgery. Any dramatically improvement is usually driven by
introduction of new tools or systems that in turn bring totally new
pro cedures and set of skills."
