A simulation and training system of robot assisted surgery based on virtual reality

In this paper, a simulation and training system of robot assisted surgery based on virtual reality is proposed setting up from a concrete practical background of frameless stereotactic neurosurgery and a connecting home-made surgical robot. This system combines with 3D display devices and home-made man-machine conversation devices. This system can also improve the speed of displaying interaction of the 3D operation model and establish a robot assisted surgical simulation and training demo system oriented clinical applications.
