Preface
Nowadays, medical and service robotics have become a major part in the field of robotics. Medical robotics, in particular, benefits from theoretical and technological advances and the increased acceptance as supporting technology for rehabilitation, surgery and other services that serve our society. Furthermore, medical robots represent the economically most important subclass in the service robotics domain. There is an ongoing demand on new devices for a wide spectrum of applications ranging from robotic devices for keyhole surgery, devices for camera navigation, surgical assistance robots, rehabilitation devices, medical transportation syst
