摘要
We describe a robot capable of performing all procedures necessary to carry out a complete stereotactic neurosurgical operation under the control and supervision of a surgeon. The operation consists of the introduction of a small probe with diameter 2-3 mm through a hole without trepanation. The robot has been built and is now being tested and evaluated. The accompanying control software as well as various medical probes are either in development or partially tested. The installation will be able to carry out a complete intervention under the surveillance of a computed tomography scanner. In this article we emphasize the design choices required to eliminate gearing backlash in a crucial degree of freedom.
