Background
Continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) requires surgeons to manipulate fragile eye tissue at the microscale. The limited perceptual accuracy of surgeons makes it difficult to precisely position the forceps. Robot technology provides a feasible way to improve the performance of CCC.
Methods
To provide real‐time and high‐precision forceps position feedback to the robot, and extract...
Background
Continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) is a delicate ophthalmic procedure which may benefit from robot technology. Measuring the behaviours (physiological tremor, operation force) of surgeons provides baseline data to develop assistive CCC robot.
Methods
A forceps with fibre bragg grating and inertial sensors is used to measure the surgeons' behaviours while experts/novices perform...
