Automatic surgical tools for penetrating flexible tissues

Describes techniques developed at the authors' institute for controlling penetrating tools in non-rigid tissues. Two procedures are referenced to illustrate the approach. These procedures describe force characteristics and schemes for identifying critical states, and strategies for control. The...

Description
Summary:Describes techniques developed at the authors' institute for controlling penetrating tools in non-rigid tissues. Two procedures are referenced to illustrate the approach. These procedures describe force characteristics and schemes for identifying critical states, and strategies for control. The authors consider: controlling tool penetration for microdrilling a stapedetomy; other procedures involving non-rigid tissues.< >
