Abstract
The SpineAssist (Mazor Surgical Technologies, Caesarea, Israel) is a novel miniature robotic system which has been developed, tested and is already in clinical use for the accurate guidance of spinal implant placements, such as pedicle screws and translaminar facet screws. Non-spine applications, based on the core robotic and image-processing technologies, are also being investigated and developed
