  • Publication number: 20250049525
    Abstract: Proposed are methods and systems for laparoscopic surgery with assist robot and controlling methods for laparoscopic surgery system with assist robot. The method may include arranging a control assist robot on one region of a bed and a motion assist robot on another region of the bed to be spaced a certain distance apart from the control assist robot. The motion assist robot may include a surgical instrument that moves according to a control of the control assist robot. The method may also include performing laparoscopic surgery in a state in which an operator is positioned next to the control assist robot and grips a manual type instrument with one hand and the control assist robot with the other hand.
