Abstract
An automated device has been implemented in the laboratory for carrying out a stapedotomy. Experimental evidence was obtained to suggest that automated tools can be used in flexible tissues providing that the characteristics of the sensory data can be identified and related to particular states of procedures. Control of the tool to achieve minimum protrusion during the preparation of a stapedotomy has been possible using a simple deformation model representing the medium. The model adapts to cutting conditions of the specimen in order to control of the breakthrough process.ETX
