Research on acupuncture robots based on the OptiTrack motion capture system and a robotic arm.

摘要

OBJECTIVE: To propose an automatic acupuncture robot system for performing acupuncture operations. METHODS: sensation detection system is proposed to evaluate the effect of acupuncture. To verify the stability of the designed acupuncture robot, acupoints' coordinates localized by the acupuncture robot are compared with the Gold Standard labeled by a professional acupuncturist using significant level tests. RESULTS: keywords is 94.52%, which meets the requirements of acupuncture effect testing for different dialects. CONCLUSION: The proposed acupuncture robot system streamlines the acupuncture process, increases efficiency, and reduces practitioner fatigue, while also allowing for the quantification of acupuncture manipulations and evaluation of therapeutic effects. The development of an acupuncture robot system has the potential to revolutionize low back pain treatment and improve patient outcomes.
