State of the Art and Expectations in the Surgical Robotics Technology from the Engineering Point of Wiev: A Literature Rewiev

Starting from 1980s, there is a rapid increase in the amount of studies for the extension of achievements in the industrial robotics to surgical field. although a limited number of robots have become commercial to date, surgical robot development studies are carried out for various purposes. the assessment of the subject in surgical aspects is conducted by physicians. on the other hand, in the engineering side there are a lot more work to be done on the surgical robots. in this study, engineering studies conducted on surgical robots were discussed in the historical process and it is tried to shed a light on the future works.
