Abstract

BACKGROUND: Robotic scope assistant systems are used to visualise and navigate the operative field during a laparoscopic surgery. The objective of this work is to design a surgical scope adapter that enables control of different scope types (zero-degree, angulated, and articulated), and can be connected to any six degree-of-freedom robotic manipulator for usage as a robotic scope assistant system.
