A Case Study of Safety in the Design of Surgical Robots: The ARAKNES Platform
Résumé
This work presents a case study of safety in the design of the ARAKNES surgical robotic platform dedicated to single port laparoscopic surgery. The framework for the design of medical robots is shortly described and applied, focusing on safety. Moreover, it is explained how the design process can be placed in the context of the European community directives for medical devices.
