Abstract

This paper deals with a new approach towards computer assisted surgery by means of a surgical robot device specially designed for the treatment of bone structures. Considering the constraints due to the medical environment one main aim is to improve the accuracy of surgical execution by only minor changes of the intraoperative workprocess itself. Therefore, the surgical planning of the proposed system is based on multiple x-ray images taken intraoperatively with a conventional c-arm including a non-invasive registration technique. In contrary to former approaches the robot supported execution is performed by a special purpose manipulator with a new kinematic structure optimized for orthopedic interventions. First results of the feasibility study concerning the surgical planning and execution based on x-ray images as well as the design study of the robot's kinematics are presented in this paper.
