Development of a Surgical Knife Device for a Multi-Fingered Haptic Interface Robot

چکیده
This paper presents the design of a surgical knife device for a multi-fingered haptic interface robot called HIRO, and summarizes the experimental results. HIRO consists of a robot arm and a five-fingered hand, and is able to handle the tool with fingers. A variety of tools can be attached to HIRO, and the system is therefore able to present the force sensation of many tool-type devices. For example, in medical training, there are many different shape and usage tools, so a haptic interface that can present the force sensation for many tools will be important for virtual training systems. This paper particularly focuses on the connection between HIRO and a tool-type device. By introducing a performance index, a tool-type device (a surgical knife device) for HIRO that satisfies a certain kind of optimal connection has been developed. Further, several experiments were carried out to investigate the performance of the developed surgical knife device. These results correspond to a display of high-precision force.

Multi-Fingered Haptic Interface Robot and Its Application Systems
Haptic interfaces that represent force and tactile feeling have been utilized in the areas of telemanipulation, interaction with microscale and nanoscale phenomena, and medical training and evaluation, to mention only some applications. A multi-fingered haptic interface has greater potential for these kinds of applications than does a singlepoint haptic interface. We developed a five-fingered h...

Abstract— This paper presents a mixed control of multi-fingered haptic interface robot consisting of a 6 DOF arm and a 15 DOF hand. The interface is placed opposite the human hand and presents force and tactile feeling to the fingertips. In order to reduce the uneasy feeling in the operator, a mixed control consisting of a finger force control and an arm position control intended to maximize th...

This paper describes a multi-fingered haptic palpation method using stiffness feedback actuators for simulating tissue palpation procedures in traditional and robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery. Soft tissue stiffness is simulated by changing the stiffness property of the actuator during palpation. For the first time, granular jamming and pneumatic air actuation are combined together to r...
