Design of Industrial Robotic Arm For Surgical Applications

Abstract

Since robot-assisted surgical systems incorporate many of the advantages of minimally invasive surgery, such as decreased postoperative trauma, faster recoveries, and lower overall treatment costs, they are increasingly being used in medical procedures. Using these robotic systems, surgeons can work in areas where traditional surgical tools would be impractical, such as tiny; tight the capabilities of a human hand as an operator are typically somewhat restricted. The act of movement itself helps to improve this sort of dexterity. Robotic scaling, which converts the operator's massive motions into the tiny actions of the robotic end effector. For instance, the Da Vinci System's EndoWrist end effector tool. These systems' drawbacks include the expensive cost of surgery, the lack of feedback, and the surgeon's operating mobility. The surgeon isn't inside the patient during these surgeries. Human tissue won't resist cutting. Thus, one can damage healthy tissues or break a thread by sewing too hard. A new system was developed in this study using ustepper (an industrial palletizer robot), EndoWrist needle and a CNC milling machine. Industrial robotics were merged with the medical robotics to bring more benefits. The developed surgical robot has more movement options for the surgeons to operate in the human body. Cambridge Medical Robot (CMR) and DLR Surgical Robot System's characteristics were studied and merged together into this design. Industrial and medical robotics have collaborated to create this particular design.
