Summary
This study introduces an uncalibrated robotic puncture method that eliminates the need for traditional hand-eye calibration. This innovative approach enhances accuracy and efficiency in robotic-assisted surgical procedures.
Area of Science:
- Robotics
- Medical Engineering
- Surgical Technology
Background:
- Robotic puncture systems (RPS) typically require pre-operative hand-eye calibration between optical tracking systems (OTS) and robotic arms.
- Calibration inaccuracies due to displacement or deviation can invalidate system performance, necessitating frequent recalibration.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an uncalibrated robotic puncture method that bypasses the need for a predefined hand-eye relationship.
- To enable accurate and robust robotic puncture operations without reliance on traditional calibration techniques.
Main Methods:
- Constructing angle and position graph Jacobian matrices.
- Employing Square Root Cubature Kalman Filter for online state estimation.
- Deriving control variables for robotic puncture based on estimated states.
Main Results:
- Achieved an average error of 1.3495 mm in simulation experiments.
- Demonstrated an average time consumption of 39.331 seconds.
- Validated the method's effectiveness in obtaining necessary control variables.
Conclusions:
- The proposed uncalibrated method offers high accuracy for robotic puncture.
- The technique significantly reduces time consumption compared to traditional calibrated methods.
- Experimental results confirm the robustness of the uncalibrated robotic puncture approach.
