  • Abstract
    This paper describes a new radiotherapy robot system to identify in real time the cancer location of the tumor using multiple articulated robot arms. A radiotherapy robot system has been designed to solve the problems of current radiotherapy systems in terms of a long radiotherapy time and weak safety margin of the patient. The major technology and process of radiation therapy using a robot are proposed. The structure of four robots in the ceiling and floor will prevent a collision with the patient and, shorten the treatment time.
