Development of a Novel Ball-and-Socket Flexible Manipulator for Minimally Invasive Flexible Surgery

نویسندگان

چکیده

This work proposes a novel flexible manipulator consisting of series 2-DOF vertebrae based on ball-and-socket joint that is connected by ball-shaped surface and cup-shaped socket constrained pins for circumferential rotation. can demonstrate outstanding torsional stiffness since the rotation between four ball pins. The point contact guideways effectively reduces friction vertebrae, thus allowing designed to yield smooth bending shape with constant curvature. features high axial stiffness, excellent performance, sufficient loading capacity, convenient integration surgical instruments. Moreover, enables this efficiently transfer torque be applied in in-situ motion, addressing typical issue limited dexterity motion. kinematic modeling proposed under motion has been derived, its workspace analyzed. A robotic system assembled, experiments have verified design validity. results show maximum position errors are 2.39% (horizontal direction) 1.98% (vertical direction), 21.13N $\cdot $ mm/deg, which 46 times higher than spherical (SFM). Such merits support excellently performing average error 3.58%. Furthermore, phantom test larynx performed verify potential clinical feasibility.

Single port manipulator for minimally invasive surgery

INTRODUCTION Although minimally invasive surgery has many advantages compared to open surgery, its performance is restricted due to technical limitations. Besides the development of new instruments, the current focus is set on trauma reduction by performing single port operations or transluminal surgery (NOTES) [1]. The development of instruments with enhanced flexibility is a major challenge a...

A Novel Tele-Operated Flexible Robot Targeted for Minimally Invasive Robotic Surgery

In this paper, a novel flexible robot system with a constrained tendon-driven serpentine manipulator (CTSM) is presented. The CTSM gives the robot a larger workspace, more dexterous manipulation, and controllable stiffness compared with the da Vinci surgical robot and traditional flexible robots. The robot is tele-operated using the Novint Falcon haptic device. Two control modes are implemented...

QFT Control of a Two-Link Rigid-Flexible Manipulator

This paper evaluates a new and simple controller design method based on QFT (quantitative feedback theory) for a two-link manipulator whose first link is rigid and the second is flexible. A piezoelectric patch is attached to the surface of the flexible link for vibration suppression of it. This system is modeled as a nonlinear multi-input multi-output (MIMO) control systems whose inputs are two...

A bioinspired soft manipulator for minimally invasive surgery.

This paper introduces a novel, bioinspired manipulator for minimally invasive surgery (MIS). The manipulator is entirely composed of soft materials, and it has been designed to provide similar motion capabilities as the octopus's arm in order to reach the surgical target while exploiting its whole length to actively interact with the biological structures. The manipulator is composed of two ide...
