    摘要: The present invention is directed to a device to firmly grasp and manipulate delicate tissues in microsurgery, while precisely measuring tool-tissue interaction forces in three dimensions (x-y-z). The design enables precise measurement of forces at the tool tip without being influenced by other forces that may act on the tool shaft. The device of the present invention is capable of measuring axial (z) forces together with the transverse forces (x-y) on an actuated (not static) instrument. Fiber optic sensors are embedded into strategic locations of the design to decouple and precisely detect force components (x-y-z) separately. The force information is used to provide feedback to the operator, or to a robotic platform. The exerted forces on critical tissues, such as the retina in eye surgery, can be maintained at a safe level, clinical complications due to excessive forces can be lessened, safety, and outcome of microsurgical procedures can be enhanced.

    摘要: A mechanical translation apparatus includes a translation stage and a translation assembly operatively connected to the translation stage so as to impart linear motions to the translation stage substantially free of rotational motions. The translation assembly includes a plurality of at least three arms pivotably connected to the translation stage at a first end of each arm of the plurality of at least three arms. The mechanical translation apparatus also includes a base assembly in which each arm of the plurality of at least three arms is also rotationally connected to the base assembly at a second end of each arm. Each arm of the plurality of at least three arms includes three rigid elongate structures arranged substantially parallel and non-coplanar with respect to each other so as to act in cooperation to cancel torques so that substantially purely linear motion is imparted to the translation stage by the plurality of at least three arms, and the translation assembly constrains motion of the translation stage to be substantially purely translational motion free of rotational motion. A robot includes the mechanical translation apparatus.

    摘要: A cooperatively controlled robotic system includes a main robot assembly, and an arm assembly comprising a proximal end and a distal end. The arm assembly is connected to the main robot assembly at the proximal end. The system also includes a tool assembly connected to the arm assembly at the distal end, a first force sensor between the distal end of the arm assembly and the tool assembly, and a second force sensor between the proximal end of the arm assembly and the main robot assembly. The system includes a control system that is configured to determine a force applied at the first force sensor based on a force detected by the second force sensor, and to compare the determined force to a force detected by the first force sensor to detect a failure of at least one of the first and second force sensors.

    摘要: According to some embodiments of the present invention, a cooperatively-controlled robot includes a robotic actuator assembly comprising a tool holder and a force sensor. The cooperatively-controlled robot further includes a control system adapted to communicate with the robotic actuator assembly and the force sensor, and an actuator in communication with the control system and mechanically coupled to a tool. The force sensor is configured to detect a vibrational force applied on the tool and send a signal to the control system based on the vibrational force. The control system is configured to receive the signal and determine a force to apply to the tool to damp the vibrational force. The control system then signals to the actuator to apply the determined force, and the actuator applies the determined force to actively damp a vibration of the tool.
