Automatic trajectory generation for free-form pocket machining in skull base surgery

Automatic trajectory generation for free-form pocket machining in skull base surgery

The NeuroBot is a surgical robotic system being developed for the skull-base surgery. The skull-base which refers to the area of the skull that provides the base on which the brain rests, is one of the most complex regions in human anatomy as it contains critical features such as major blood vessels...
