A Novel Tele-Operated Flexible Robot Targeted for Minimally Invasive Robotic Surgery
نویسندگان
چکیده
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, direct mapping and incremental mode. In each mode, the robot can be manipulated using either the highest stiffness scheme or the minimal movement scheme. The advantages of the CTSM are shown by simulation and experimental results.

ROBOTIC SURGERY AND TELE-SURGERY: BASIC PRINCIPLES AND DESCRIPTION OF A NOVEL CONCEPT (Abstract): One of the most important advances in surgical technology in the last two decades of the twentieth century is represented by the introduction of the laparoscopic technique. Using the laparoscopic approach the patient is operated through keyhole incisions as opposed to long, traumatic incisions over...
متن کاملCONTROL OF FLEXIBLE JOINT ROBOT MANIPULATORS BY COMPENSATING FLEXIBILITY
A flexible-joint robot manipulator is a complex system because it is nonlinear, multivariable, highly coupled along with joint flexibility and uncertainty. To overcome flexibility, several methods have been proposed based on flexible model. This paper presents a novel method for controlling flexible-joint robot manipulators. A novel control law is presented by compensating flexibility to form a...
متن کاملAutomated Tissue Retraction for Robot-Assisted Surgical Procedures
Robotic surgical assistants (RSAs) are enhancing physician performance, enabling them to perform more delicate and precise minimally invasive surgery (MIS). However, these devices are currently tele-operated and lack autonomy. In this paper, we focus on automating a relatively simple but commonly performed surgical task of tissue retraction, which involves grasping and lifting a thin layer of t...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS This article presents a novel robotic endolaryngeal flexible (Robo-ELF) scope driver for minimally invasive laryngeal surgery. The Robo-ELF consists of a simple, robust robotic scope driver with three active and two passive degrees of freedom, allowing it to manipulate any standard flexible endoscope. The system is controlled by a joystick-like three dimensional mouse that...
متن کاملA Combined Modal-Joint Space Control Approach for Minimally Invasive Surgical Continuum Manipulators
Continuum manipulators such as robotic tele-operated cardiac catheters continue to gain popularity for use in minimally invasive surgical procedures due to their inherent safety characteristics. However, their flexible nature makes them prone to both steady state positioning errors and undesirable vibrations. We propose a combined control system incorporating both a tracking position controller...
