The objective of this paper is to propose a new ap- proach to robot-aided pedicle screw fixation based on a Surgeon- Robot Shared control that makes the tapping procedure, i.e. threading the patient's pedicle, semi-autonomous. The surgeon has a full control over the surgical intervention that appears more comfortable and less tiring. Tests, aimed at assessing surgeon postures during the procedure, were carried out on eight subjects performing the tapping operation onto a spine phantom.

Abstract
The objective of this paper is to propose a new ap- proach to robot-aided pedicle screw fixation based on a Surgeon- Robot Shared control that makes the tapping procedure, i.e. threading the patient's pedicle, semi-autonomous. The surgeon has a full control over the surgical intervention that appears more comfortable and less tiring. Tests, aimed at assessing surgeon postures during the procedure, were carried out on eight subjects performing the tapping operation onto a spine phantom.File in questo prodotto:
