Micro-Manipulator for Neurosurgery

This is the problem statement.
Currently, I'm working on the robotic-arm and the design of the micro-manipulator.

*****

The micro-manipulator resembles the the tasks and movements of the neurosurgeon. In addition to that, the idea of tele-surgery will be employed. Among the advantages of this system are:

1. reduce the fatigue experienced by the doctor
2. reduce surgery cost
3. reduce patient's trauma
4. better precision

Among the concerns of the system are:

1. micro-manipulator -> a robotic arm, where the micro end-effector must be able to perform very precise and accurate motion (micro motion)
2. teleoperation -> must be in real time, no delays

This is currently the official website for my project: Micro-Manipulator for Neurosurgery. I will update anything related to my project here, as well as some findings that might help me in doing it.
