Abstract
After development of a passive articulated localization arm we are now developing a robotic surgical assistant for neurosurgery. Our study includes ergonomic, precision and safety aspects. As a result of early work interactive hand and computer driven use might be developed. Mechatronic approach is supposed to minimize system´s weight, friction and inertia of mass for user. The goal of this work, interests and preliminary results are presented
