Abstract

This paper presents a preliminary study for the design of a robotic-assisted platform dedicated to minimally invasive spinal surgery (MISS) with two possible human-robot collaboration modes: co-manipulation and tele-operation mode. A motion capture system composed of 8 high resolution infrared cameras has been used to study the surgeon gestures during a classical surgery performed on cadaver. The obtained results are analyzed to define the main robot specifications, such as its workspace.
