Medical Robotic and Telesurgical Simulation and Education Research

Abstract

This project is broken into two focus areas: telesurgery and surgical rehearsal. In each we are exploring various applications and extensions of the existing robotic surgical systems. Under telesurgery we are exploring the ability to perform telesurgery using a robot both across a state-wide and a nation-wide area based on the currently available technology. Under surgical rehearsal we are exploring designs for simulator systems which can be used to improve training and education of surgeons pursuing expertise in the use of robotic surgical systems. The focus is on unique forms of robotics which have not previously been addressed by simulation technologies.
