A Steady-Hand Robotic System for Microsurgical Augmentation

Abstract: This paper reports the development of a robotic system designed to extend a human's ability to perform small-scale (sub-millimeter) manipulation tasks requiring human judgment, sensory integration, and hand-eye coordination. Our novel approach, which we call steady-hand micromanipulation, is for tools to be held simultaneously both by the operator's hand and a specially designed actively controlled robot arm. The robot's controller senses forces exerted by the operator on the tool and by the tool on the enviro… Show more

“…Lack of proprioceptive feedback has never been an obstacle for most authors [46], even when performing extremely thin and delicate microsurgical anastomoses. This particular problem is the object of numerous researches, which will probably result in the restitution of tactile proprioception via virtual tactile sensors [47].…”
