Abstract
Remote center of motion (RCM) constraint has attracted many research interests as one of the key challenges for robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RAMIS). Although it has been addressed by many studies, few of them treated the motion constraint with an independent workspace solution, which means they rely on the kinematics of the robot manipulator. This makes it difficult to replicate the solutions on other manipulators, which limits their population. In this paper, we propose a novel control framework by incorporating model predictive control (MPC) with the fuzzy approximation to improve the accuracy under the motion constraint. The fuzzy approximation is introduced to manage the kinematic uncertainties existing in the MPC control. Finally, simulations were performed and analyzed to validate the proposed algorithm. By comparison, the results prove that the proposed algorithm achieved success and satisfying performance in the presence of external disturbances.
