Abstract
Recent design methods for surgical robots suffer from an inherent problem. In these methods, the surgeon’s operation manner is not considered when designing the robotic mechanism. As such, it is possible that a non-user-friendly robot is developed for surgeons to operate. To solve this problem, we developed a system that takes into consideration the surgeon’s operation manner during the design phase of the robot. Using this system, we can operate a simulated robot with any mechanisms and can search a mechanism that is user-friendly in terms of the surgeon’s operation manner. In the experiments, we investigated the need for considering the surgeon’s operation manner when designing a surgical robot. The results clearly show there is indeed such a need.
