Human-Robot Shared Control for Osteotomy Procedure.

Spinal intervention can benefit from advancements in robotic systems, particularly in the field of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI). Despite the promising potential of these technologies, their integration into spine surgeries remains relatively limited, comprising mainly only selected procedures. Meanwhile, complex and time-consuming procedures, such as osteotomy, continue to be performed manually, significantly impacting surgeon workload and stress.

EMG-Based Variable Impedance Control for Enhanced Haptic Feedback in Real-Time Material Recognition.

Advancements in robotic systems hold significant promise for enhancing spinal interventions. Despite this potential, the integration of robotic platforms in spine surgeries remains limited to only a few procedures. This paper presents a variable impedance control scheme within a shared-control framework to enhance haptic feedback during spinal surgeries.
