Study on an Adaptive Clamping Device for Passive Safety Delivery of Vascular Intervention Robot

摘要

In practical clinical applications, vascular intervention surgical robots have developed sophisticated human-machine interaction systems, enabling assistance to physicians in performing remote surgeries and providing intelligent visual feedback. However, regarding surgical safety, current research predominantly focuses on force feedback and robot control logic, with clamping mechanisms targeting the locking of catheters and guide wires. Excessive clamping force may lead to surface damage to intervention instruments, while insufficient force delivery may result from slippery surfaces. Therefore, addressing these issues, this study proposed a passive, compliant safety strategy for an adaptive clamping device based on a vascular intervention surgical robot platform. This device can accommodate different diameter catheters and maintain a constant delivery force during the intervention process. Finally, through experimentation, the effectiveness, safety, and stability of the device were demonstrated.
