Abstract

High-performance miniature surgical instruments play an important role in complicated minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Based on in-depth analysis of the requirements of MIS and the characteristics of the existing minimally invasive surgical instruments, a multiple degrees of freedom (DOF) robotic surgical instrument with decoupled pose was proposed. Firstly, the design concept of the pose decoupling instrument was described in detail, and its physical structure, transmission structure, and mechanical properties were designed and analyzed. A surgical instrument control algorithm based on the master-slave mode was established. Finally, a physical prototype was developed, and its motion ranges of joints, load capacity, and suture operation performance were comprehensively evaluated, which confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed minimally invasive robotic surgical instrument.
