Abstract
In this paper the worldwide first clinically applied robotic system for maxillofacial surgery is described. The system developed at the Surgical Robotics Lab (SRL) is distinguished from other systems by the complete interactive control by the surgeon. From the viewpoint of telemanipulation systems the developed system can be interpreted as a combined master/slave manipulator. In this paper the resulting advantages and new arising problems are described, especially for the new application in spinal surgery.
