Abstract
The invention relates to a medical robot for assisting a practitioner during a medical intervention on a relevant anatomical part of a patient. The medical robot comprises a robotic arm equipped, at one end, with a tool guide intended to guide a medical instrument. The medical robot also comprises a control unit configured to control the movement of the robotic arm. The tool guide is coupled to a force sensor. When the medical robot is used in a 'cooperative manual control' mode, the control unit is configured to determine, using the force sensor, a force applied by the practitioner to the tool guide and to calculate a speed of movement of the tool guide on the basis of a gain factor applied to the determined force. Advantageously, the value of the gain factor is variable and is calculated on the basis of the determined force.
