Abstract
We have developed an experimental system for robotic heart surgery, which provides force feedback and full Cartesian control on each of the four end effectors Currently the system is used to determine the degree of automation that can be included into surgical procedures. Therefore we have included an optical system with thread recognition and we provide assistance to the surgeon via automated knot-tying.
