Abstract

Laparoscopic manipulation of delicate large intra-abdominal organs is a difficult (ask that needs special training programs to improve the surgeons1 dexterity. In this study, the mechanical design of a robotic interface for haptic simulation of large-organ laparoscopic surgery is described. The designed robot enjoys five active Degree of Freedoms (DOFs), back drivability. low inertia, friction and backlash, and sufficiently large force/moment production capacity. The kinematics of the robot was analyzed and a functional prototype was fabricated for experimental tests. Results indicated that the target workspace was fully covered with no singular points inside. The mechanism was highly isotropic and the torque requirements were in the acceptable range. The trajectory tracking experiments against a I kg payload revealed an Root Mean Square (RMS) of 0.9 mm, due to the simplifications of the kinematic model, i.e., not considering the friction and backlash effects. It was concluded that the designed robot could satisfy the mechanical requirements for being used as the robotic interface in a haptic large-organ laparoscopic surgery simulation system. © 2024 Sharif University of Technology.
