In this paper, an impedance control is proposed for a robotic needle with a fiber optic force sensor. The fiber optic force sensor is placed at the tip of the needle to directly measure the interaction force between needle and soft tissue, overcoming the noise like friction force. The sensor is sensitive to the temperature condition, and their relationship is first established, and then used to compensate for the temperature influence to enhance the force measurement. An impedance control is presented based on insertion model whose impedance parameters are identified in terms of acquired test data, and experimental results show that the control strategy is effective to avoid excessive insertion force, reducing the risk of robotic needle.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
