Tele-surgery

This is when the

surgeon performs the

surgery from a distance,

sitting at the computer

console and performing

tasks using robotic arms.

This is an automated surgery.

The robot performs surgery by

itself but is pre-set before by

surgeons on the tasks.

Shared controlled system

This is the surgery where robots help the surgeon monitor during surgery, while surgeon performs it.
