    摘要: A method of manufacturing a jointed device of a medical instrument includes providing a machining fixture on a wire electrical discharge machine having an electrical discharge wire. The fixture includes member holes each adapted to accommodate at least one workpiece, the workpiece being adapted to form a portion of the jointed device of the medical instrument. At least two workpieces each include a first workpiece and a second workpiece, accommodated within at least two member holes of the member holes. The fixture is associated with the wire electrical discharge machine so that the electrical discharge wire can cut at most one workpiece at a time. The machining fixture is rotated around a fixture rotation axis at a predetermined angle, which is chosen to provide that the electrical discharge wire can cut only one workpiece at a time. The workpieces are cut by the electrical discharge wire.

    摘要: A method of teleoperation preparation in a teleoperated robotic surgery system is performed during a non-operating step. The applicable robotic system includes motorized actuators, and a surgical instrument. The surgical instrument includes an articulated end-effector having a degree/degrees of freedom. The surgical instrument includes a pair of antagonistic tendons, mounted in the surgical instrument operatively connected/connectable to the motorized actuators and to the respective end-effector links. The antagonistic tendons actuate degree/degrees of freedom associated therewith, between the degree/degrees of freedom thus determining antagonistic effects. The method includes establishing a univocal correlation motorized actuators' movements and articulated end-effector movements. A holding step includes tensile-stressing a pair of antagonistic tendons, and holding the tendons in a tensile-stressed state, by applying a holding force to the tendons, adapted to determine a loaded state of the tendons. A command is given to enter teleoperation. A corresponding teleoperated robotic surgery system performs the method.
