TLDR
The Black Falcon, an eight degree-of-freedom teleoperator slave with a dextrous wrist for minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is presented and suturing along arbitrarily oriented suture lines in animal tissue, a task essentially impossible using current instruments is demonstrated.Abstract:
This paper presents the Black Falcon, an eight degree-of-freedom teleoperator slave with a dextrous wrist for minimally invasive surgery (MIS). We show how teleoperation can address several key problems in MIS by increasing dexterity and degrees of freedom, by giving the surgeon some force feedback to feel instrument-tissue interactions and by eliminating geometric discrepancies between actual and observed tool motions. We discuss relevant design constraints, summarize the mechanism design and give data showing the quality of force reflection achieved. We demonstrate suturing along arbitrarily oriented suture lines in animal tissue, a task essentially impossible using current instruments.read more

Applying tactile sensing with piezoelectric materials for minimally invasive surgery and magnetic-resonance-guided interventions.
TL;DR: The work done towards developing a sensing device using piezoelectric sensor elements to locate subsurface inclusions in soft substrates, with its magnetic resonance compatibility tested in a 1.5 T scanner shows that the position of a hard inclusion can be determined.

Design of a 1R1T planar mechanism with remote center of motion
Wei Ye,Bo Zhang,Qinchuan Li +2 more
TL;DR: The proposed RCM mechanism has several advantages: a good actuation scheme, analytical direct kinematic solutions, and no singular configurations in the prescribed workspace, and is suitable for single minimal incision surgery, such as biopsy and cryosurgery.

Human-machine interfaces for minimally invasive surgery
Frank Tendick,M.C. Cavusoglu +1 more
TL;DR: Three projects to evaluate and improve the human interface in laparoscopic surgery, or minimally invasive surgery of the abdomen, are described: measurement of movement trajectories under different visual conditions to determine the effect of viewing geometry, development of virtual environments for training, and the development of haptic interfaces and control algorithms for teleoperative surgery.
