How Do Surgical Robots Filter Out Human Tremors?

💡 The Answer

• Surgical robots use motion scaling to reduce hand movements by a factor of up to 20.
• Electronic sensors detect the surgeon's natural tremors and subtract them in real time.
• The system filters out frequencies between 6 and 12 Hz typical of physiological tremor.
• This allows microsurgical precision down to 10 micrometers or less.
