Tele-assessment of bandwidth limitation for remote robotics surgery

Yuma Ebihara et al.

Summary: This study investigated the limitation of communication bandwidth (CB) for remote robotics surgery (RRS) using hinotori(TM). The minimum required CB for RRS was confirmed, and it was found that RRS can be continued by compressing the image when there is insufficient CB.
