Efficiency and Power Limits of Electrical and Tendon-Sheath Transmissions for Surgical Robotics
A popular design choice in current surgical robotics is to use mechanical cables to transmit mechanical energy from actuators located outside of the body, through a minimally invasive port, to instruments on the inside of the body. These cables enable high performance surgical manipulations includin...
