Event & Seminar(Japanease Web Site) Pick up Subject! Simulation based mechanical design method for surgical assisted robot Kazuya KAWAMURA In recent year, robot technology has been required to apply the difficult surgery, but the robot can only be used in a limited number of clinical cases. This problem is caused due to difficulty of use of the robot for users. In our study, we proposed a simulation based mechanical design method of surgical assisted robot. And we also developed an optimization method of the design based on human operation and operability evaluation for assisting to apply the developed robot to clinical case rapidly. As one of on-going task collaborated with pediatric surgeons, we are trying to evaluate the mechanical design of forceps manipulator suitable for pediatric surgery.
