Abstract
Advances in wireless communication, electromyography and robotics have allowed to foresee advanced medical services as distance surgery. Demand on distance services as surgery to remote locations will help to provide hospitals with the abilities of experienced surgeon that will not need to move. Using advanced communication networks and dedicated robotic systems, highly skilled physicians in collaboration with local general physicians will be able to diagnose diseases, monitor vital signals, heal injuries, place prosthesis and conduct remote surgery in real time , at different locations. This paper presents then a 2 degrees of freedom robotic arm controlled at distance intended to remote surgery. The system use a basic robotic arm, surface electromyographic signals electronic processed as base band signals for a wireless communication system for remote control.
