Abstract

This paper deals with the description of a telerobotic surgery experiment, conducted on July 7, 1993, between the Politecnico di Milano, Telerobotics Laboratory, Italy, and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA. It describes the results obtained, the new objectives proposed and the technical equipment. It also provides a comparison between the different solutions adopted. Telerobotic surgery requires particular skill; the integration of human capabilities with robotics in surgery offers useful results for robotic applications in new fields, especially health care
