Abstract :
This paper introduces the research on robot assisted, minimally invasive neurosurgery. The prototype system developed is composed of a preoperative image-guided planning, the minimal-invasive and noninvasive calibration between the virtual and actual environments, and a surgical robot for location and remote-controlled procedures based on the preoperative strategy. Finally, results of the clinical application are given to show that the robotic system is effective
