The domain of the surgery robots is today in milling at bony structures. Since robots provide extreme precision and do not fatigue, they offer themselves their application in particular with lengthy and at the same time highly precise milling processes within the area of the lateral head base. For this reason a method was developed, which calculates a suitable milling course by a geometrical description of the implant and which implements a force-based control to supervise the milling process. With a 6 degree-of-freedom industrial robot, the investigations took place primarily at animal preparations and at human temporal bone specimen for optimization.
