Abstract

In this chapter authors give an idea for automation of open surgery.  Mastoidectomy is a core surgical procedure in otologic surgery.  Here they present a novel approach to developing methods for parsing raw data (position and orientation of the surgical tool and end-effector force) into a sequence of surgical actions (APs) that can be used by a robot in the future.
