Abstract
During a robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery, hand tremors in a surgeon's manipulation of the master manipulator can cause vibrations of the slave surgical instruments. This letter addresses this problem by proposing an improved Enhanced Band-Limited Multiple Linear Fourier Combiner (E-BMFLC) algorithm for filtering the physiological tremor signals of a surgeon's hand. The proposed method uses the amplitude of the input signal to adapt the learning rate and a dense division of the combiner bands for the higher amplitude bands of the tremor signals. By using the proposed improved E-BMFLC algorithm, the compensation accuracy can be improved by 4.5%-8.9%, as well as a spatial position error of less than 1mm. The results show that among all filtering methods, the improved E-BMFLC filtering method has the highest number of successful experiments and the lowest experimental time.
