Abstract

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study is to develop a methodology to better control a human-robot collaboration for robotic dental implant placement. We have designed a human-robot collaborative implant system (HRCDIS) which is based on a zero-force hand-guiding concept and a operational task management workflow that can achieve highly accurate and stable osteotomy drilling based on a surgeon's decision and robotic arm movements during implant surgery.
