Abstract - Current implant procedures in dentistry face challenges such as excessive radiation exposure, manual placement errors, and lack of real-time feedback, which compromise surgical outcomes and efficiency. This study presents the design and development of an Automated Implant Driver System integrated with real-time intraoperative livestreaming. The proposed system employs a Raspberry Pi 5 (4GB) as the central processor, a Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 Wide for visual mark detection, and a 3-axis robotic arm driven by MG996R servo motors. The drilling function is controlled by an N20 300 RPM DC motor managed via an L298N motor driver. Servo coordination is handled through a PCA9685 PWM driver. The doctor places a visual mark on the implant site, which is identified using image processing techniques. The robotic arm aligns with the mark and executes the drilling operation while streaming the entire process in 4K resolution to remote specialists and interns. The system significantly reduces the number of required X-rays, enhances placement precision, lowers operational time, and supports remote collaboration and training.
