Abstract

Background The study assesses the capability and accuracy of a robotic arm to perform burr holes.

Material and Methods The robotic systems are instructed to recognize targets on artificial skull models placed in different positions and to make burr holes.

Results The accuracy ranged from 0.1 to 1.0 mm.

Conclusion Robotic arms are capable to perform basic surgical tasks. However, further improvement needs to be done to refine its accuracy and capability.
