For further information, materials and on-going work, please refer to NearLab website... The ACTIVE project exploits ICT and other engineering methods and technologies for the design anddevelopment of an integrated redundant robotic platform for neurosurgery. A light and agile redundant roboticcell with 20 degrees-of-freedom (DoFs) and an advanced processing unit for pre- and intra-operative control willoperate both autonomously and cooperatively with surgical staff on the brain.As the patient will not be considered rigidly fixed to the operating table and/or to the robot, the system will pushthe boundaries of the state of the art in the fields of robotics and control for the accuracy and bandwidth requiredby the challenging and complex surgical scenario...
