Area of Science:

  • Robotics
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Technology

Background:

  • Current robot-assisted surgery frameworks often rely on pre-operative imaging or invasive markers.
  • Existing systems may have limitations in defining constraints dynamically during procedures.
  • Enhancing safety and ergonomics in minimally invasive procedures remains a key challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an Implicit Active Constraints (IAC) control framework for robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery.
  • To enable implicit constraint definition from operator motion, eliminating the need for pre-operative imaging and invasive fiducial markers.
  • To design and evaluate a hands-on cooperative robotic platform for arthroscopic procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an IAC control framework that prescribes constraints from operator motion.
  • Design of a hands-on cooperative robotic platform with a surgical instrument and compliant manipulator.
  • Integration of a flexible arthroscopic instrument to enhance workspace and accessibility.
  • Performance analysis and validation through subject studies simulating minimally invasive arthroscopic procedures.

Main Results:

  • The IAC framework successfully constrains instrument pose, ensuring safe passage through incision points and preventing tissue trauma.
  • The flexible arthroscopic instrument expanded the reachable and dexterous workspace.
  • Subject studies demonstrated a statistically significant enhancement in control ergonomics.
  • Validation confirmed improvements in accuracy and safety during simulated minimally invasive arthroscopic procedures.

Conclusions:

  • The Implicit Active Constraints framework offers a novel approach to robot-assisted surgery, improving safety and usability.
  • The developed cooperative robotic platform and flexible instrument enhance surgical capabilities in minimally invasive procedures.
  • The IAC framework provides a promising direction for more intuitive and safer robotic surgical interventions.
