| Abstract | Among different areas of robotics, this project deals with the concept of medical robot to carry out tasks in complex surgery, used a minimally invasive surgery(MIS) approach. The main aim of this project is to develop and design of a bipolar cautery instrument which is compatible with the minimally invasive surgical system. This cautery instrument includes four degrees of freedom (DoF) motions and operates specific angular movement with speed controls. The design of motions for this cautery instrument exceeds the natural range of movement of human hand. The manual switches such as toggle switches and graphical user interface (GUI) are used to control the motions of this cautery instrument. By following reverse engineering system, the development of the bipolar cautery instrument is presented in this project. |
