Abstract
A telerobotic workstation for microsurgery has been developed that enables scaling down motions and filtering tremor in a surgeon´s hand. The system is compact and light-weight and has the potential for improving the performance of all surgeons and enabling the development of new surgical procedures currently limited by the dexterity of even the most skilful surgeons
