SSPRA-LAB is focus on the development of generic tools for training, simulation, planning and robotised assitance in surgery (conventional, minimally invasive, endoscopic, biopsies). The tools are compatibles with DCOM medical imaging format. The tools are configurable as teleoperated systems, and /or collaborative robot with/without virtual fixtures or dynamic assistances. The robotic unit can be position and/or force/torque controlled. To detect the patient position an optical (ej. NDI) or mechatronic tracker can be used.
