In robotic assisted surgeries, surgical tools are inserted into the human body via an incision point in the abdominal wall, which is imposed as a remote center of motion (RCM). The selection of the incision's point location in the human body is critical for the success of the surgical procedure. In this paper, we propose a simulation tool for finding the optimal incision point location, which can ...
