title: [Voice-directed robotic cystoscopy].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  In line with our previous studies in the field of robotics, a new application of our robotic arm is presented: voice-directed cystoscopy.
  
  
  METHODS
  Cystoscopy was performed in a sow using a voice-directed robotic arm to which a cystoscope had been attached. The computer executes all the processes that enable interaction with the surgeon and communication with the robotic system. The surgeon directs the movements of the cystoscope by voice, using instructions easily recognizable by the voice identifier.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This system is easy to operate and carries out the commands given by the surgeon with great precision and safety.
