Compared with traditional open surgery, minimally invasive surgical procedures reduce patient trauma and recovery time, but the dexterity of the surgeon in laparoscopic surgery is reduced owing to the small incisions, long instruments and limited indirect visibility of the operative site inside the patient. Robotic surgical systems, teleoperated by surgeons from a master control console with joystick-type manipulation interfaces, have been commercially developed yet their adoption into standard practice may be limited owing to their size, complexity, cost and time-consuming setup, maintenance and sterilization procedures. The goal of our research is to improve the effectiveness of robot-assisted surgery by developing much smaller, simpler, modular, teleoperated robotic manipulator systems for minimally invasive surgery.

用于腹腔镜手术的紧凑型模块化遥控机器人系统

与传统的开放手术相比，微创手术减少了患者的创伤和恢复时间，但由于切口小、器械长、对患者体内手术部位的间接可见性有限，降低了外科医生在腹腔镜手术中的灵巧性。机器人手术系统由外科医生从带有操纵杆式操作界面的主控制台远程操作，已经商业开发，但由于其尺寸、复杂性、成本和耗时的设置、维护和消毒程序，它们在标准实践中的应用可能受到限制. 我们研究的目标是通过开发用于微创手术的更小、更简单、模块化、遥控操作的机器人机械手系统来提高机器人辅助手术的有效性。
