Abstract

In minimally invasive robotic surgery (MIRS), the force/torque which exists between instruments and organs can’t be sensed by surgeon. The research present can’t offer perfect solution for the disadvantage of minimally invasive robotic surgery. This paper presents development of a 6-Axis sensor based on double-hole parallel crossing beam, which can be integrated in instruments of MIRS. The size of sensor is 9.8(diameter)× 6(height)mm.The sensor can measure the force/torque set on the instrument and can be used in the area of the force feedback in teleportation surgery robot.
