Abstract

Virtual reality (VR) can serve as a revolutionary technology in surgery, where robotic systems are used to assist residents in training and accumulating knowledge without risk. In this article, a simulator was developed using virtual reality technology designed for a surgical robotic system used in the single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) procedure. For this system, artificial intelligence is employed for the automatic positioning of the mobile platform of the parallel robot above the SILS port. On the mobile platform, there are two active instruments and a laparoscopic camera, which can be easily inserted through the SILS port by means of two controllers and voice commands.
