The manipulation of instruments under a microscope suffers from physiological tremor and human errors, which are inevitable in long microsurgery interventions. Robotic systems developed in recent years for microsurgery are expensive and not flexible, as they cannot use standard instruments, and need the surgeon to modify their operative skills and strategies. In this paper, we introduce a modular ...
