In this paper, we focus on robots used for laparoscopic surgery, which is one of the most active areas for research and development of surgical robots. We introduce research and development of laparoscope-holder robots, master-slave robots and hand-held robotic forceps. Then, we discuss future directions for surgical robots. For robot hardware, snake like flexible mechanisms for single-port access surgery (SPA) and NOTES (Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery) and applications of soft robotics are actively used. On the software side, research such as automation of surgical procedures using machine learning is one of the hot topics.

腹腔镜手术中的机器人：当前和未来的状态。


在本文中，我们重点关注用于腹腔镜手术的机器人，这是手术机器人研发最活跃的领域之一。介绍腹腔镜支架机器人、主从机器人、手持机器人钳的研发情况。然后，我们讨论手术机器人的未来方向。在机器人硬件方面，用于单端口手术（SPA）和NOTES（自然孔腔内窥镜手术）的蛇形柔性机构以及软机器人技术的应用被积极使用。在软件方面，利用机器学习实现外科手术自动化等研究是热门话题之一。
