Review of surgical robotics and key techniques analysis

Surgical robotics has played an increasingly important role in the recent decade in robotics field. On the base of describing the status of surgical robotics in China and abroad, this paper analyzed the key technologies, such as surgical robot prototype, virtual surgical simulation, teleoperation and communications based on networks, in details. Synchronously, the future orientations are also indicated.
