Introduction
Since the beginning of the 1990s robots have been successfully implemented in medicine. The most advanced are telesurgical systems. In this group only two constructions were used in practice, i.e.: Zeus® Robotic Surgical System produced by Computer Motion [1] and da Vinci® Surgical System by Intuitive Surgical® [5, 2]. However, after the patent litigation in 2003 Intuitive Surgical® and Computer Motion merged into one company and now only one – da Vinci® Surgical System – is produced.
Its large cost, which is about 1.000.000 EUR, makes it unavailable to Polish hospitals for financial reasons. This was why the attempts to prepare similar constructions were undertaken in Poland. However, it was decided not only to copy but also to undertake the challenge of constructing an improved version of the robots mentioned above, at least in some aspects.
