The LapaRobot System is a 5 degree of freedom Master-Slave pair of
robot manipulators that allows 2 users at different physical locations
to perform interactive teaching (telementoring) and interactive learning
in laparoscopic procedures, as well as cooperative telesurgery. In
other words, the LapaRobot System allows less experienced or new
surgeons to be taught and/or guided through laparoscopic procedures via a
more experienced master surgeon.
