Redundant Force Sensing for Cooperatively-controlled Surgical Robot

Unmet Need:Many cooperatively controlled surgical robots incorporate force/torque sensors as the main input for the human interactions controlling robot motion. Force/torque sensors are susceptible to many modes of failure due to accidents, misuse, or hazards in the environment. Sensors can also generate false measurements from temperature change, electrical...

Delta Mechanism with Enhanced Torsional Stiffness

Unmet NeedThis invention pertains to an improvement in the Robotic ENT Microsurgery System (REMS). The REMS robot uses a delta mechanism to provide translational degrees of freedom. Though the delta mechanism offers a lot of advantages, particularly in reducing the weight of the robot has to move, it also suffers from weak torsional stiffness. Technical...
