We have extensive experience in performing telementoring and telesurgical
applications between our facility and various hospitals around the
world. Four ISDN lines are typically used for the bidirectional audio-video
connection and the control of instrumentation and robotics. Depending
on the application remote control is performed for various laparoscopy
instruments, our robotic laparoscope manipulator (Lap Driver), or
image-guided robots (PAKY-RCM)
.

The Lap
Driver was made to support various laparoscopic instruments
in as compact robot using the BW-RCM base.
The robot presents similar functionality with the AESOP robot in
a miniaturized size, with steadier positioning, and more precise
targeting and tracking capabilities.
