The robot is handled by a master manipulator.ĬISOBOTIt consists of a two-arm robot, one to control the laparoscopic camera and another to help the surgeon operate along the intervention in a semi-autonomous mode. The intervention involves passing a narrow metal telescope, attached to the robot end effector, through the patient’s penis until it reaches the prostate. RTUP (Trans-Uretral Resection Prostate)The left picture shows the ISA robot adaptation for the transurethral resection of the prostate. In the left picture, it is shown the ERM, version 3.0. In this sense, there was emphasis on the fact that the robot used here does not require any structural modification in the operating room, and that it does not obstruct the surgeons’ movements. It is designed to fulfil the kinematic requirements used for the ISA assistant, as well as the real-time needs found in a human operating room. It was developed under the project framework FIS-00/0050-02.ĮRM (Edoscope Robotics Manipulator)Robotic assistant developed under the project framework PI021708.

In the left picture, it can be appreciated a clinical trial using animals for experimentation purposes. The assistant is handled in response to the surgeon’s commands. The robot must fulfil various requirements, such as accessing the entire working area by means of an endoscope without limiting the surgeon’s movements. ISA (Intelligent Surgery Assistant)It is the first robotic assistant designed to be used in laparoscopic surgery it is based on an industrial Stäubli RX60 robot. The classification of these abilities as well as the level acquired by the team for each project, have been built by taking into account the Robotics 2020 Multi-Annual Roadmap for Robotics in Europe document written by the SPARC Partnership for Robotics in Europe. Medical Robotics research team continues developing and improving the level of such abilities regarding to its activity on the research projects it is currently involved.

These lines of research lead to a series of abilities acquired by the Medical Robotics research team from University of Malaga. The developed prototypes exhibit a dual function: they are useful to experimentally verify the theoretical developments and they facilitate the transmission of research data.

The working method is focus on an early stage of new knowledge creation and a second stage leading to the construction of demonstrator systems. The purpose is defined as the creation of machines which are not intended to replace the doctor in surgical interventions, but to work side-by-side with him. The Medical Robotics research team is aimed at developing robotic assistants for laparoscopic surgery.
