Abstract
Robotic systems that are integrated in medical applications are designed to help and assist rather than injure a human being, whether it is the patient or the operator. This chapter presents the classification of medical robots as passive, semiactive, active, remote manipulators, and navigators. The kinematic structure of medical robots is discussed next, as are the fundamental requirements from medical robots. Finally, the main advantages and emerging trends in medical robotics are given.
