Abstract

Abstract: Medical robot is an emerging interdisciplinary which contains medicine, bionics, mechanics, materials science, computer science, operations research, robotics and other disciplines. It is mainly used in the patient's surgery, rescue, transportation and rehabilitation. The study and design of cloud robotics become essential trends with the technological developments of sensors, actuators, communication devices, and especially cloud computing. A cloud robot only has light-weight hardware and software configurations, which can offload computation-intensive tasks to be executed in remote cloud. The cloud medical robot transforms the intensive allocation of calculation or resources into intensive efficiency and functions, which can complete complex tasks more efficiently. In this paper, a cloud medical robotic system is constructed. The system consists of medical cloud platform layer and remote cloud robot layer. On the basis of system platform, we design two cloud medical robot systems using the wireless network technology. The simulation results show that the cloud medical robot system is of the characteristics of high efficiency and low cost.

Key words: medical robotics, cloud computing, system of cloud medical robotics, efficiency and functionality intensively, wireless network technology
