    Area of Science:

    • Robotics
    • Surgical Technology
    • Biomechanics

    Background:

    • Robotic systems offer potential for improving spinal interventions.
    • Current integration of robotic platforms in spine surgeries is limited.
    • Enhanced haptic feedback is crucial for safe and precise surgical maneuvers.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a variable impedance control scheme in a shared-control framework for enhanced haptic feedback in spinal surgeries.
    • To enable surgeons to guide the robot with dynamically adjusted stiffness based on contact forces and human intent (via electromyography signals).
    • To improve safety and minimize risk to delicate anatomical structures during surgical interactions.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of a 7-DoF robotic manipulator integrated with a 6-axis force/torque sensor and an 8-channel EMG sensor.
    • Development of a variable impedance control scheme within a shared-control framework.
    • Technical validation and user study comparing the proposed system against constant impedance control (CIC) and linear variable impedance control (LVIC).

    Main Results:

    • The proposed system demonstrated significantly reduced contact forces and in-contact displacement when interacting with delicate materials compared to CIC and LVIC.
    • Minimized risk to critical anatomical structures due to reduced force and displacement.
    • User study confirmed improved haptic perception and control, with prevention of undesired movements.

    Conclusions:

    • The variable impedance control scheme enhances haptic feedback and safety in robotic-assisted spinal surgery.
    • The system's adaptive stiffness adjustment effectively protects delicate tissues.
    • The proposed approach shows promise for broader adoption of robotic platforms in complex spinal procedures.
