Abstract

This paper discusses advances in Active Constraints technology, which is designed to complement the surgeon's skill and improve safety in minimally invasive procedures. These advances include the support for true 3-dimensional constraints, independence of mechanical architecture, distributed constraint auditing, real-time deformation tracking and distributed user interface.
