An articulated handle to improve the ergonomic performance of robotic dextrous instruments for laparoscopic surgery
Hand-held robotic instruments with dextrous end-effectors offer increased accessibility and gesture precision in minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery. They combine advantages of both intuitive but large, complex, and expensive telesurgery systems, and much cheaper but less user-friendly steerable...
