Device to provide intuitive assistance in laparoscope holding.

This work proposes a new navigation device which autonomously handles the laparoscope, with a view to reducing latency and adjusting optics in real time. The system designed is an intuitive mechatronic device with three degrees of freedom and a sole active articulation. The device uses the point of insertion as the invariant point for navigation and has a work space that closely resembles an inverted cone.
