A robotic heart motion simulator (HMS) is developed at DLR (German Aerospace Center) to accurately simulate real translational motions of a mechanically stabilized beating heart in a lab environment. This simulator is part of the DLR scenario for motion compensation on the beating heart. Motion compensation is a highly desired issue in minimally invasive surgery. The design of the HMS as well as its...

The compensation of motion of the beating heart is investigated in the context of minimally invasive robotic surgery. Although reduced by mechanical stabilisers, residual tissue motion makes surgery still difficult and time consuming. Compensation for this motion is therefore highly desirable. Motion can be captured by tracking natural landmarks on the heart surface viewed by a video endoscope. The...
This paper proposes a method for accurate robotic motion compensation of a freely moving target object. This approaches a typical problem in medical scenarios, where a robotic system needs to compensate physiological movements of a target region related to the patient. An optical tracking system measures the poses of the robot's end-effector and the moving target. The task is to track the target with...
The dynamics and control of a cable-suspended, two-arm robotic system are developed for an entertainment application. One manipulator arm is controlled to fulfil a user defined task. The second arm is then controlled to compensate for the disturbances on the cable-suspended platform arising from the motion of the first. Model-based feedforward control, stemming from the momentum conservation equations...
