A new master console for neurosurgery robots was developed, improving tumor removal. This system combines robotic and conventional surgery, offering a sterilizable, bedside-compatible interface for enhanced surgical outcomes.

Area of Science:

Neurosurgery
Robotics
Medical Device Design

Background:

Developing advanced neurosurgical robotic systems is crucial for improving brain tumor removal outcomes.
Integrating conventional and robotic surgery necessitates specialized, sterilizable equipment.

Purpose of the Study:

To design and evaluate a novel master console for a neurosurgical robotic system.
To enable seamless conversion between conventional and robotic surgical procedures at the bedside.

Main Methods:

Developed a master console featuring a 5-DOF (degrees of freedom) parallel mechanism and pneumatic sensors.
The parallel mechanism provides intuitive motion input, while pneumatic sensors ensure electrical isolation for sterilization.

Main Results:

The 5-DOF parallel mechanism is compact with a usable workspace and low resistance (0.27N).
Pneumatic sensors accurately measured forces (suction, grasp) and hand contact.
Installability tests confirmed suitability for conventional surgical environments.

Conclusions:

The designed master console is feasible for operative neurosurgery.
Further testing is underway for master-slave control integration with the robotic system.
