Small Occupancy Robotic Mechanisms for Endoscopic Surgery

To make the endoscopic surgery more precise and more ac cessible computer enhanced surgical robot systems are introduced and accepted in the surgical community Present surgical robot systems un fortunately occupy a signi cant amount of space in operating rooms It sometimes prohibits surgeons from emergency access to the patient In this paper we propose a design of small occupancy robots for endoscopic surgery The design concept consists of three components Namely the Active Forceps the Active Trocar and the passive positioner The de tailed design of the Active Forceps and the Active Trocar presented and the performance of prototypes are also reported
