One of the main problems for effective control of a minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is the imprecision that caused by hand tremor. In this paper, a novel adaptive filter, the least squares support vector machines adaptive filter (LS-SVMAF), is proposed to overcome this problem. Compared with traditional methods like multi layer perceptron (MLP), LS-SVM shows a superior performance of nonlinear modeling with small scale of data set or high dimensional input space. With the LS-SVMAF, we can model and predict the hand tremor more effectively and improve the precision and reliability in the master-slave robotic system for microsurgery. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed filter and its superior performance over its competing rivals.
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.
