Les robots chirurgicaux peuvent être autonomes, «comanipulés» ou relever de la «télémanipulation», le cas le plus courant. Ainsi, les robots chirurgicaux sont pilotés par des chirurgiens, décisionnaires, qui conduisent l'action de bras manipulateurs avec une caméra endoscopique et des instruments chirurgicaux. Ils bénéficient d'une visualisation en trois dimensions afin d'obtenir une plus grande rapidité et une précision accrue. 2, record 1, French, - robot%20chirurgical
