Autonomous robotic ultrasound systems improve breast cancer screening. A new control strategy enhances stability and accuracy by compensating for soft tissue deformation during scans.

Area of Science:

  • Robotics
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Autonomous Robotic Ultrasound Systems (ARUS) offer standardized breast cancer screening.
  • Accurate breast localization and soft tissue deformation challenges stable robotic contact-force control.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an advanced control framework for ARUS that addresses challenges in breast localization and tissue deformation.
  • To improve the stability and accuracy of robotic ultrasound scanning for breast cancer screening.

Main Methods:

  • A framework integrating visual perception with compliant control was proposed.
  • An adaptive gradient-based edge detector identified nipple position.
  • Variable Damping Admittance Control based on a Breast Biomechanical Model (VDAC-BBM) was developed to compensate for tissue deformation and suppress force error.

Main Results:

  • Experiments with phantoms and human subjects demonstrated a force tracking error of ≤ 0.4 N.
  • Disturbance recovery speed improved by 16.5%-21.3% compared to conventional admittance control.
  • The VDAC-BBM effectively compensated for soft tissue deformation.

Conclusions:

  • Integrating biomechanical models into control strategies enhances force compliance and stability in robotic scanning of deformable tissues.
  • The developed VDAC-BBM provides a foundation for the clinical translation of ARUS for breast cancer screening.
