Description

Continuum robot for narrow cavity surgery
Technical Field

The problems of poor complicated 3D visual field, limited activity of an end effector, vibration of hands of a surgeon and the like in a narrow operation space still exist in the conventional narrow cavity operation, so that the operation effect is limited, and the robot technology is introduced into the medical field.
A wire-driven robot and a concentric tube robot, which are typical representatives of surgical robots, have been widely used in neurosurgery, urology, and intracardiac surgeries.
The line-driven robot is connected in series by a plurality of hollow units, and adjusts the position and posture of the end of the robot by controlling the lengths of drive lines uniformly arranged in the circumferential direction. The traditional line-driven robot has two degrees of freedom in bending direction and one degree of freedom in moving direction, and usually adopts a structure of overlapping a plurality of line-driven robots in series in order to increase the degree of freedom of robot motion, and the robot under the structure has the defects of low rigidity, uncontrollable length of each section of continuum and the like.
The concentric tube robot is formed by mutually nesting two or more pre-bent high-elasticity concentric tubes. Each concentric tube has two degrees of freedom of rotation and translation, and the robot tip reaches a target position by controlling the amount of telescoping and rotation of each concentric tube. However, since the curvature of the pre-bending of the concentric tube in the robot is constant, the robot has limited reachable space and poor motion flexibility, and the pre-bending rate of the concentric tube changes with the use time and frequency, which results in low precision of the operation.
Based on this, the invention provides a continuum robot for narrow lumen surgery.
