Robots
• Accurate andare...
precise; Untiring
• Smaller or larger than people
(as needed)
• Remotely operated (as
needed)
• Connected to computers, which
gives them access to
information
• Not always able to operate autonomously
in highly complex, uncertain environments
Potential Impact
of Medical
Robotics TODAY:
Treatments are
both qualitatively and
level of quantitatively
limited
challeng by human
e abilities
W I T H ROBOTICS:
More clinicians can perform
more difficult (and even
new) procedures; more
patients can be
rehabilitated

Assistance
• Over 25% of U.S. population has some
functional physical limitation that affects normal
living
• 6.5M people in the US have had a stroke (by
2050, cost projected to be $2.2 Trillion)
Optimizing Movement

Neurally Controlled
Prostheses
Approaches include:
- Low force and speed
- Risk analysis (eliminate single
PUMA Industrial
points of failure) Robot
In an ideal world,
medical robotics
• includes:
Quantitive descriptions of patient state
• Use of models to plan intervention
• Design of devices, systems, and processes
to connect information to action ( =
robotics )
• Incorporating human input in a natural
way
• Goal: improve health and quality of life
