Robotic Surgery
Book chapter, 2019

In this chapter, a general overview of robotic surgery will be provided while focusing on specific developments on hyperredundant, continuum, and soft-material robotic platforms. The chapter also provides a wide and comprehensive outlook on the implications of human-machine interaction and autonomy levels in robotic surgery. To better explain the new developments in robotic surgery front, two case studies are selected reporting on the state-of-the-art applications in robotic ear surgery and hyperredundant semiautonomous robotic platforms.
