Modeling and Control of Four Degrees of Freedom Surgical Robot Manipulator Using MATLAB/SIMULINK

Abstract

Recent development of robot technology is revolutionizing the medical field. The concept of using robot assistance in medical surgery has been receiving more and more recognition throughout the world. Robot-assisted surgery has the advantage of reducing surgeons' hand tremor, decreasing post-operative complications, reducing patients' pains, and increasing operation dexterity inside the patients' body. Robotic assistants have been broadly used in many medical fields such as orthopedics, neurology, urology and cardiology, and robot assisted surgery is keeping expanding its influences in more general medical field.
