Background
Suturing and knotting in Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) requires the robot not only to be able to work with multiple manipulators but also to have a high degree of dexterity. However, little attention has been paid to the design and enhancement of dexterity in multi‐manipulated robots.
Methods
In this paper, the dexterity of a new dual‐manipulator collaborative...
Background
The master manipulator with position and posture decoupling and force feedback can improve the immersion of the operation, and the gravity balance can reduce the fatigue of surgeons.
Methods
A seven degree of freedom master manipulator is developed. The parallelogram structure and the angle conversion method contribute to the realization of decoupling position and posture. The calculating...
