The next generation of surgical robotics
most debated dirctions
Vision
High-quality image
3D image
ultra-wide angle view
super macro enlarged view
overlay information(preoperative imaging result, realtime
ultrasound and MRI image)
haptics
virtual stiffness of a robotic manipulator
transparent system
haptic feedback
accessbility
require necessary kinematic structures for complex motion mapping
particularly for SIL and NOTES surgery
need overcome the cable transmission issue under very tight spatial constraints
Emerging technologies
Origami
soft robotics
multiple actuation ways
inherent compliance
global trends
convergence of targeted surgical procedures----NOTES
Global flourish of surgical robot research
use cable transmission to remotely drive the robotic end-effector
electric motor
shape-memory alloy
pneumatics
piezoelectric actuator
magnetics
integrate multiple DOF mechanisms under very tight spatial constraint
