Abstract

This paper introduces the current progress on the development of a high-precision manipulation system for neural interface implantation. The system consists of multiple high precision manipulators, human-interface devices, and many end-effectors. Each manipulator has five D.O.F motion for general tasks such as gripping, cutting, suturing and electrode insertion. A nerve holder, drivers for micro forceps and scissors, and an electrode inserter were developed to perform the target tasks. This paper introduces design features of all components and preliminary results of user tests. We hope that the proposed system will open a new area of robot-assisted neurosurgery for researchers and scientists in the related fields to produce consistent and reliable experimental results.
