Engineering Approaches to Mechanical and Robotic Design for Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS)

This cross-disciplinary volume investigates engineering principles in the design and development of mechanisms for surgery. The approaches are based on mechanical engineering design principles and electro-mechanical systems, including mechatronics. The approaches used in the book should be accessible to any design engineer. The text should also be of interest to researchers and practitioners in fields such as biomedical engineering, medical device design, mechanical engineering, electrical kinesiology, and electro-mechanical engineering.
