Synopsis

Robot Design: Application to Medical Robotics offers a blend of theory and applications, with a focus on robot design to aid researchers in developing innovative robotic solutions in the healthcare domain. The book addresses this evolutionary journey by amalgamating various fields of expertise, guiding readers through fundamental concepts using real-world requirements and applications. Chapters are authored by experts in collaboration with clinicians and specialists from specific areas, spanning the technical realm (mechanics of machinery, control theory, informatics, mechatronics) to the clinical sphere (surgery, sonography, rehabilitation therapy).

This book serves as an excellent reference for young professionals and researchers, providing an overview of the most significant aspects of medical robotics and guiding them towards the most suitable approaches for robot design.

• Bridges the gap between theory and the state-of-the-art in medical robotics, providing clear links between theory, design, and outcomes
• Offers organized design principles and best practices that guide innovation in medical robotics, aiding developers in creating impactful solutions
• Combines essential theory with practical examples, catering to both biomedical engineers and clinical professionals involved in technical development and clinical application for medical robotics
