Abstract
Robots have been present in surgery rooms since the early 80's to help surgeons in their delicate procedures. This is what is currently known as Robot-assisted surgery. The tremendous progress made in robotics, computing, and visualization have enabled technology to prove itself of valuable help to the surgeon in operating procedures. This evolution of assistance robotics started as surgeon-based guidance, then evolved to image-guided surgery to be now in the intelligent sensor-guided surgery. In the frame of two collaborative project [1,2], CSEM in collaboration with ARTORG and Inselspital are bringing sensing capabilities to robot for safer surgery during cochlear implementation and spine operations.
