Desired Non-Functional Requirements

D.N.1 The system will allow for numerous successful surgeries, without the need for servicing and calibration.
D.N.2 The system will have a cost comparable to similar systems on the market.
D.N.3 The system will adhere to all relevant ISO standards pertaining to medical robotic systems.
D.N.4 The system will be of a size and dimension that is ergonomic.
D.N.5 The system will be designed such that it can be serviced easily.
D.N.6 The system will be designed to be easily sterilizable or sterile in the sterile field.

Deprecated Requirements

The following requirements are deprecated due to modified system architecture in Fall 2022, and based on sponsor feedback. The planning subsystem no longer exists and the hardware and controls subsystems had major overhauls based on needed improvement for dynamic compensation.

Mandatory Functional & Performance Requirements

Note. Requirements M.P.3.1 and M.P.3.2 have been relaxed to 3 mm and 3 degrees because of hardware constraints since our arm does not have enough holding torque.
