Abstract

The paper presents the design of a medical instrument proposed for the robotic-assisted radiofrequency ablation procedure using the PARABRACHYROB parallel robotic system. Following the medical procedure requirements, a protocol is established for the robotic-assisted radiofrequency liver ablation to serve as design considerations for the medical instrument. The design of the experimental model and its integration on PARA-BRACHYROB are presented.
