Abstract

BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted pedicle screw insertion has gained popularity in the spinal surgery field. Due to high cost, these spinal robots are not extensively applied in clinical surgeries. Developing an effective robot system with low cost and high clinical acceptability is one of the future trends.
