ROBOTICS FOR PERFORMING SURGICAL OPERATIONS
ABSTRACT
Over the years robots have been widely used in manufacturing industries for material handling, welding, assembly, etc. so robots are designed as helping hand. They help us in difficult, unsafe task. Machines that can be programmed to perform a variety of jobs, and they can range from simple machines too highly complex, computer controlled intelligent system. Robots are used in industries, warehouse, laboratories, etc. Technocrats and Medical surgeon all over the world have joint hands for developing specialized robotic devices for performing surgical operations too.
This paper presents a robotic system for precise needle insertion under radiological guidance for surgical interventions. It is compatible with portable X-ray units and computer tomography scanners. The system presents modular structure comprising global positioning, miniature robotic and radiolucent needle driver modules. The system may be operated stand alone under joystick control making it adaptable to operating rooms, or under full image guided computer control.
This paper will also proved brief classification, operation and practical application in medical science. The R-T Friction transmission with axial loading for needle insertion gives the idea which where used in “ancient year”. Also this robot is control by the GPS system, which is far away from the operation room
