Robots used for these surgeries must achieve this motion capability. When robots are used alongside the surgeon, additional considerations must be made regulating the surgeon-robot interaction. This paper presents a formulation of a compliance controller, namely an admittance controller, for use in the control of a surgical robot that is directed by physical interaction with the surgeon. The surgical robot in this study is a 6 degrees-of-freedom collaborative robot with a force/torque sensor attached to the distal end of its last joint. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAdmittance ControllerRemote Center Of MotionSurgical RobotsConference Object2-s2.0-10501108353110.1007/978-3-031-96081-9_44
