N2 - In this paper, the problem of robot assisted needle insertion is investigated. Using robot as an assistive device in needle insertion procedures increases accuracy and precision of point targeting inside the human body. This way, the time of the procedure, the operator's error, and the amount of absorbed dose of the radiations for the patient decrease, dramatically. Implementation of this scenario needs a precise workflow that considers all the issues related to the registration of the imaging system, robot and the patient. We utilize a registration approach without the use of optical tracking devices and propose a workflow to improve the needle placement efficiency. The proposed setup consists of a lightweight robot arm with a custom-designed tool holder mounted on its end effector. The procedure is implemented on a dummy lumbar-section phantom with multiple markers.
