Analysis of tendon tension and hysteresis by tendon twisting and development of anti‐twist tendon mechanism of robotic surgical instruments

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader

Abstract

Background

Control of the joints of robotic surgical instruments is difficult owing to hysteresis, and tendon twisting due to axial rotation of surgical tools also causes hysteresis. Therefore, a new mechanism is needed to prevent tendon twisting.

Methods

Tendon tension and hysteresis change were analyzed by observing the movement of the joint depending on whether the tendons twisted for the same input signal. An anti-twist tendon mechanism to prevent twisting was developed. A 3-mm needle driver applied with the proposed mechanism was manufactured.

Results

The anti-twist mechanism makes no tension change because of twisting or friction between the tendon and the system, i.e., the operating performance was the same regardless of rotation.

Conclusion

The proposed mechanism has been verified and can be applied to small surgical instruments 3 mm in size. These findings can be applied in the development of instruments for precise surgeries such as microsurgery.
