3. ROBOT:
A robot is a machine carrying out a complex
series of actions automatically
History and Milestones:
Began with laparoscopic procedures
In 1985 The first use of surgical robots with PUMA 560
In 1988 used the same equipment in prostate surgery
In 1992, the ROBODOC assisted surgeons in total hip
replacements
In 1993 developed in the area of prosthetic limbs.
In 1998,hydraulic and pneumatic controls to provide
walking ability and greater changes in walking speed.
5. Sensors used in robots at medical field:
• Tactile
• Touch
• Force
• Proximity
• Vision
Functions of sensors:
A tactile sensor is a device that measures
information arising from physical interaction
Simple touch is Sensing an object's presence
or absence
Complex touch is Sensing an object's size,
shape and/or hardness
Simple force is Measuring force along a single
axis.
Complex force is Measuring force along
multiple axes.
Simple vision is Detecting edges, holes and
corners
Proximity is Non-contact detection of object
Complex vision is Recognizing objects.
6. Degrees of freedom:
• Robot arms are described by their degrees of freedom.
This number typically refers to the number of single-axis
rotational joints in the arm, where higher number
indicates an increased flexibility in positioning a tool.
• Serial and parallel manipulator robots are designed with
six degrees of freedom. Consisting of three in translation
and three in orientation.
Translational envelopes:
Moving forward and backward on the X-axis. (Surge)
Moving left and right on the Y-axis. (Sway)
Moving up and down on the Z-axis. (Heave)
Rotational envelopes:
Tilting side to side on the X-axis. (Roll)
Tilting forward and backward on the Y-axis. (Pitch)T
Turning left and right on the Z-axis. (Yaw)
7. Role of Robotics in mechanical field:
Telepresence
Surgical assistance
Rehabilitation
Physiotherapy robots
Disinfection
Telepresence:
Physicians used robots to help them for
examination of patients and treatment for them in
rural areas and remote locations.
Surgical assistance:
Remote controlled robots assist surgeon
with performing surgeries
Advanced 3D and HD technology gives
more spatial result
8. Rehabilitation robots:
It plays crucial role in the recovery of
people with disabilities.
It supports the lives of elderly people
Physiotherapy Robots:
It treated for spinal cord disease with
robotic suits that can help them walk
again.
Healing for paralysis
Disinfection:
Robots have the capability to disinfect a
whole room in mere minutes, generally
using ultraviolet light technology
9. Future applications:
Future robotic surgery may become even more remote,
performed from a separate room or even from across the
country.
Researchers in Singapore are developing a tiny crab-like
robot that can crawl through the mouth and into the
stomach, remove cancerous growths and also stop
internal bleeding.
Even smaller technology may be possible in nano-
robots, which perform intricate eye or brain surgery that is
currently risky or impossible
10. Economical Growth:
Global medical robotic systems
market was worth 5.48 billion $ in
2011 and is expected to reach 13.6
billion $ in 2018.
Experts such as elon musk and
tesla-ceo and other believe that
technologies and automation
through robotics might even push for
the “introduction universal basic
income”
