Original Abstract Submitted

A method of teleoperation preparation in a teleoperated robotic surgery system is performed during a non-operating step. The applicable robotic system includes motorized actuators, and a surgical instrument. The surgical instrument includes an articulated end-effector having a degree/degrees of freedom. The surgical instrument includes a pair of antagonistic tendons, mounted in the surgical instrument operatively connected/connectable to the motorized actuators and to the respective end-effector links. The antagonistic tendons actuate degree/degrees of freedom associated therewith, between the degree/degrees of freedom thus determining antagonistic effects. The method includes establishing a univocal correlation motorized actuators' movements and articulated end-effector movements. A holding step includes tensile-stressing a pair of antagonistic tendons, and holding the tendons in a tensile-stressed state, by applying a holding force to the tendons, adapted to determine a loaded state of the tendons. A command is given to enter teleoperation. A corresponding teleoperated robotic surgery system performs the method.
