Research Abstract

The purpose of the study is to development of surgical water hydraulic manipulator with low cost and high accuracy which is used under MRI. As a basic study, we designed and developed simple hydraulic manipulator with link mechanism. The manipulator has bending, rotate and grasp mechanism. The developed model is investigated by experiment and the following results are obtained.
(1) Maximum bending angle of the developed manipulator has 90 degree and it has.
(2) Duty-velocity characteristics are almost linear.
(3) Differential PWM method is adopted and the characteristic is evaluated.
(4) Step response to 30dgree was under 0.5 sec.
(5) It is clarified that normal PWM method is suitable for constant speed drive and Differential PWM method is suitable for positioning with high accuracy.
