JIMENEZ MORENO, Róbinson; ESPINOSA VALCARCEL, Fabio Andrés  and  AMAYA HURTADO, Darío. TELEOPERATED SYSTEMS: A PERSPECTIVE ON TELESURGERY APPLICATIONS. Rev. ing. biomed. [online]. 2013, vol.7, n.14, pp.30-41. ISSN 1909-9762.

Teleoperation had become one of the most prolific areas of research due to the great number of applications in which the remote operation paradigm can be applied. Teleoperation is made from several disciplines, areas or techniques, ranging from communications to systems control and from virtual reality to digital signal processing. Hence, individual advancements in these areas could be applied to developments in teleoperation systems. This article presents a compilation of important terms and concepts. It also presents a compilation of the state of the art in teleoperation systems, with special emphasis in telesurgery applications and related research studies in the area comprising image processing and cooperative robotics, which have been used to increase the effectiveness in telemedicine systems and to increase the quality of surgical procedures.

Keywords : Image processing; Telemedicine; Teleoperation; Telesurgery.
