RIO Robotic Arm Interactive Orthopedic System
"RIO assists the surgeon in achieving natural knee kinematics and optimal results at a level of precision previously unattainable with conventional instrumentation."
(Citation 42)

 

CyberKnife System
"The CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery System is recognized as the leading radiosurgery system that delivers high doses of radiation with sub-millimeter accuracy anywhere in the body."

(Citation 43)

 

 

Amadeus Robotic Surgical System
"The Amadeus is a 4-armed robotic surgical system that enables surgeons to remotely manipulate surgical instruments. It is still being developed by Titan Medical Inc."

(Citation 44)

 

ROBODOC Surgical System
"The ROBODOC Surgical System allows surgeons to plan their surgery in a 3-D virtual space and then execute the surgery exactly as planned in the operating theatre."
(Citation 45)

 

 

RoSS Robotic Surgical Simulator
"RoSS is a Robotic Surgical Simulator which uses virtual reality to realistically introduce the user to the operation and feel of a robotic surgical console. RoSS has been validated by leading surgeons in order to be realistic in its design, and provide close to life experience of working on the on the master console of da Vinci Surgical System."
