Abstract
For decades, humans have used robots to overcome their natural limitations in their interaction with their environment. In recent years, robots have been developed to assist surgeons in performing surgeries. Since these robots are meant for surgeons' use, the design and considerations for safety, reliability and the human-robot interface are of primary importance. One of the most common modes of controlling surgical robots is using a master and slave layout. This paper explores the latest developments in the area of master-slave robotic systems for surgery.
