Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Current surgical robots face challenges to understand preoperative images like human surgeons, which hindering robots from making full use of preoperative information to operate stably and efficiently. We offer a method to estimate drilling force information based on preoperative images to provide a priori force information for surgical robots performing bone drilling tasks.
