BackgroundForce sensing for robotic surgery is limited by the size of the instrument, friction and sterilization requirements. This paper presents a force‐sensing instrument to avoid these restrictions.
MethodsOperating forces were calculated according to cable tension. Mathematical models of the force‐sensing system were established. A force‐sensing instrument was designed and fabricated. A signal...
BackgroundCompared with conventional minimally invasive surgery and open surgery, robotic‐assisted minimally invasive surgery can overcome or eliminate drawbacks caused by operator restrictions, motion limitation by the trocar and the image system, such as fatigue, trembling, low precision, constrained degree‐of‐freedom, poor hand–eye coordination and restricted surgical vision. In this paper, a novel...
Robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery is new and promising applications of robotics, which can enhance the dexterity, provide high accuracy and can't be affected by the fatigue, tremor and so on. In this paper, a novel master-slave robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery system MicroHand A is introduced. The master-slave control system for MicroHand has been designed, which is modular and consists...
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has many advantages compared with the open surgery, but there are still many drawbacks in performing this kind of surgery. To overcome the problems, robotic technologies have been integrated. The surgical robotic systems can enhance the dexterity, provide high accuracy, do not affect by the fatigue, and have the possibility of remote operation. These advantages make...
