Demonstration video of robot-aided laparoscopy using the Meka A2 compliant robotic arm. The setup includes a serial link manipulator integrated with an haptic interface using ROS. The video feedback is provided by a clinical endoscope.
The method presented in the video was further developed and its performance investigated in a en experimental study involving non-expert participants. Further details in the corresponding paper1.
