A Miniature 1R1T Precision Manipulator with Remote Center of Motion for Minimally Invasive Surgery
Hiroyuki Suzuki,Hiroyuki Suzuki
In robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery, the remote center of motion (RCM) achieves precision and safe manipulation of surgical devices through the insertion point into the patient’s body. One of the RCM configurations, one-rotation and one-translation (1R1T) RCM based on a closed-loop design, enables two-degrees-of-freedom transmission from the proximal end of the robotic arm to the distal...
