    Abstract: The present invention relates to computer-implemented medical method of verifying an expected deformation of an elastically deformable and actuator-adjusted medical fine-adjustment unit (1), the method comprising executing, on a processor of a computer, the steps of; —acquiring model data describing a model of the fine-adjustment unit (1), the model reflecting deformation properties of the fine-adjustment unit (1); —acquiring actuator data describing an actuator position of at least one actuator coupled to the fine-adjustment unit (1); —determining, based on the model data and the actuator data, target deformation data describing a target deformation of the fine-adjustment unit (1) caused by the at least one actuator at said actuator position; —acquiring actual deformation data describing an actual deformation of the fine-adjustment unit (1) caused by the at least one actuator at said actuator position; —determining, based on the target deformation data and the actual deformation data, verification data describing whether the target deformation corresponds to the actual deformation. The present invention further relates to a corresponding computer program causing a computer to perform such method, and a corresponding system comprising such a computer.

    Abstract: A sterility-preserving robotic frontend-system, including a flexible trajectory-guide including at least one force- and/or torque-transmitting coupling-member, a baffle-member separating a sterile section from a non-sterile section, and a sterility-sleeve attached to the baffle-member; an actuator unit having a sensor unit that senses at least one of a) whether a trajectory-guide is placed with respect to the actuator unit in a manner that allows engaging-members to accurately engage an actuator interface, and b) whether the engaging-members have accurately engaged the actuator-interface; and a retainer-receptacle adapted to temporarily accommodate the trajectory guide, and to restrain flexibility of the trajectory-guide while it is accommodated. A packaging-container having an inner sterile volume containing the retainer-receptacle and the trajectory-guide and a method of setting up such a sterility-preserving robotic frontend-system.
