Abstract

At present, vascular intervention technique is the most effective way to treat cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. Vascular interventional surgical robot is applied to assist surgeons to done surgical operation effectively, and the study on this kind of robot is become a research hotspot. In vascular interventional surgery, surgeons mainly judge the state of catheter and guide wire in the blood vessel through vision and touch. Therefore, accurate force feedback is helpful for surgeons to operate interventional surgery better. However, most interventional surgery robots focus on the realization of axial force feedback and few robot systems can accurately feedback the circumferential force of the guidewire and the catheter. In this paper, a clamping mechanism for circumferential force feedback device is designed and calibrated. Firstly, the clamping mechanism is designed based on the friction theory and the control method of this mechanism is described in details. Secondly, the calibration methods of the clamping mechanism are proposed. Lastly, the calibration of the mechanism is verified by experiments, and the mechanism is optimized by analyzing the experimental results. The experimental results show that the mechanism can provide an accurate clamping force for the circumferential force feedback device.
