1A2-B09 Development of the water pressure drive remote surgical robot(Medical Robotics and Mechatronics (2))

Abstract

In this report, We propose beneficial water pressure drive manipulator for fetus surgery and MRI image-guided endoscopic surgery. This manipulator is flexible against external force not to injure a fetus and consists of non-metal material. We developed and demonstrated the grasping mechanism and the bending mechanism of this manipulator operated by water pressure drive linear actuator.
