Robot Design: Application to Medical Robotics offers a blend of theory and applications, with a focus on robot design to aid researchers in developing innovative robotic solutions in the healthcare domain. The book addresses this evolutionary journey by amalgamating various fields of expertise, guiding readers through fundamental concepts using real-world requirements and applications. Chapters are authored by experts in collaboration with clinicians and specialists from specific areas, spanning the technical realm (mechanics of machinery, control theory, informatics, mechatronics) to the clinical sphere (surgery, sonography, rehabilitation therapy).

This book serves as an excellent reference for young professionals and researchers, providing an overview of the most significant aspects of medical robotics and guiding them towards the most suitable approaches for robot design.
