随着无人救援车辆在军事战区成为现实，利用远程手术机器人加强医疗行动的机会变得更加可信。本项目展示了一种使用无人驾驶飞行器(UAV)作为网络拓扑的实验外科机器人。由于战场作战是动态的，在地理上具有挑战性，目前安装无线网络不是一个可行的选择。然而，为了利用远程手术机器人来协助伤员的紧急医疗护理，一个健壮的、高带宽、低延迟的网络是必不可少的。第一次，移动手术机器人系统被部署到恶劣的环境中，外科医生能够使用无人机无线操作系统。辛辛那提大学的两名外科医生能够远程驱动华盛顿大学的乌鸦机器人的末端执行器。该网络拓扑展示了战场使用所需的高度便携、可快速部署、带宽充足和低延迟的无线网络。
As unmanned extraction vehicles become a reality in the military theater, opportunities to augment medical operations with telesurgical robotics become more plausible. This project demonstrated an experimental surgical robot using an unmanned airborne vehicle (UAV) as a network topology. Because battlefield operations are dynamic and geographically challenging, the installation of wireless networks is not a feasible option at this point. However, to utilize telesurgical robotics to assist in the urgent medical care of wounded soldiers, a robust, high bandwidth, low latency network is requisite. For the first time, a mobile surgical robotic system was deployed to an austere environment and surgeons were able to remotely operate the systems wirelessly using a UAV. Two University of Cincinnati surgeons were able to remotely drive the University of Washington's RAVEN robot's end effectors. The network topology demonstrated a highly portable, quickly deployable, bandwidth- sufficient and low latency wireless network required for battlefield use.
