Robotics for facial reconstruction using medical images

Abstract

The presented study in this paper deals with the development of a cranio-maxillofacial reconstruction system in three dimensions, which will interact with a haptic tool. In turn, a specific robot will be controlled using this tool, which it has installed applications associated with surgery. The proposed system will help physicians gain pre-operative experience, based on reconstructions of three-dimensional images taken from real patients. Good results have been obtained, which validate the proposed system.
