Description

  • Content Description: MicroDexterity Systems Inc. and Sandia National Laboratories are collaborating on the design of a six degree-of-freedom surgeon-controlled micropositioner and a six degree-of-freedom surgeon-controlled master for use in microsurgery. A control system will provide the linkage between the force-reflecting master and micropositioner for force scaling, position scaling, and tremor filtering. The technologies developed by this project are expected to enhance the skills of surgeons, improve the success rates for existing microsurgical procedures, make new high-dexterity procedures possible, and ultimately reduce surgical costs by increasing the precision and speed of operations. This paper discusses the motivation, approach, and accomplishments to date.
