Reducing the manual length setting error of a passive Gough-Stewart platform for surgical template fabrication using a digital measurement system

As recently demonstrated, a passive Gough-Stewart platform (a.k.a. hexapod) can be used to create a personalized surgical template to achieve minimally invasive access to the cochlea. The legs of the hexapod are manually adjusted to the desired length, which must be read off an analog scale. Previou...
