[CRIGOS: development of a compact robot for image-guided orthopedic surgery].
In this paper, we present a medical robot system dedicated to support the surgeon during challenging tasks within orthopedic interventions. The main goal of this work is to develop a system as technically simple as the surgical requirements allow to keep its cost and complexity to a minimum. Therefore, we primarily focus on calibrated X-ray imaging for image acquisition, an easy registration procedure and robotic execution using a positioning device with simple parallel kinematics. Examples of different orthopedic interventions using the compact robot system for image-guided orthopedic surgery (CRIGOS) are presented, as well as various modes of execution of the device.
