A miniature microsurgical instrument tip force sensor for enhanced force feedback during robot-assisted manipulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper reports the development of a new miniature force sensor designed to measure contact forces at the tip of a microsurgical instrument in three dimensions, and its application to scaled force feedback using a cooperatively manipulated microsurgical assistant robot. The principal features of the sensor are its small size of 12.5 mm in diameter and 15 mm in height, a novel configuration of flexure beams and strain gauges in order to measure forces isotropically at the instrument tip 40 mm from the sensor body, and sub-mN three-axis force-sensing resolution.

In order to enable the humanoid robot safely t...
متن کاملRobotic Force Stabilization for Beating Heart Intracardiac Surgery
The manipulation of fast moving, delicate tissues in beating heart procedures presents a considerable challenge to surgeons. We present a new robotic force stabilization system that assists surgeons by maintaining a constant contact force with the beating heart. The system incorporates a novel, miniature uniaxial force sensor that is mounted to surgical instrumentation to measure contact forces...
متن کاملAnalysis of Suture Manipulation Forces for Teleoperation with Force Feedback
Despite many successes with teleoperated robotic surgical systems, some surgeons feel that the lack of haptic (force or tactile) feedback is detrimental in applications requiring fine suture manipulation. In this paper, we study the difference between applied suture forces in three knot tying exercises: hand ties, instrument ties (using needle drivers), and robot ties (using the da Vinci Surgi...
متن کاملHaptic interaction in robot-assisted endoscopic surgery: a sensorized end-effector.
Conventional endoscopic surgery has some drawbacks that can be addressed by using robots. The robotic systems used for surgery are still in their infancy. A major deficiency is the lack of haptic feedback to the surgeon. In this paper, the benefits of haptic feedback in robot-assisted surgery are discussed. A novel robotic end-effector is then described that meets the requirements of endoscopic...

Robot-assisted surgery is of growing interest in the surgical and engineering communities. The use of robots allows surgery to be performed with precision using smaller instruments and incisions, resulting in shorter healing times. However, using current technology, an operator cannot directly feel the operation because the surgeon-instrument and instrument-tissue interaction force feedbacks ar...
