Control Architecture and experimental validation of a Novel Surgical Robotic Instrument
Doina Pisla, Ionut Zima, Calin Vaida +7
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) reduces patient trauma and shortens recovery time; however, conventional laparoscopic instruments remain constrained by limited range of movements.…
Design Analysis of an Innovative Parallel Robot for Minimally Invasive Pancreatic Surgery
Doina Pisla, Alexandru Pusca, Andrei Caprariu +4
This paper focuses on the design of a parallel robot designed for robotic assisted minimally invasive pancreatic surgery. Two alternative architectures, called ATHENA-1 and ATHENA-…
Design of an innovative robotic surgical instrument for circular stapling
Paul Tucan, Nadim Al Hajjar, Calin Vaida +7
Esophageal cancer remains a highly aggressive malignancy with low survival rates, requiring advanced surgical interventions like esophagectomy. Traditional manual techniques, inclu…
Accuracy and repeatability of a parallel robot for personalised minimally invasive surgery
Doina Pisla, Paul Tucan, Damien Chablat +7
The paper presents the methodology used for accuracy and repeatability measurements of the experimental model of a parallel robot developed for surgical applications. The experimen…
