| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A new surgical robot has been proposed by combining advantages of Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery), modular robotic surgery, and needlescopic surgery. In the proposed concept, robotic modules with diagnostic or therapeutic functions are inserted in a body cavity via an incision in umbilicus and then assembled to 3-mm shafts inserted through incisions in the abdominal wall. A robotic module with 3 degrees of freedom (DoF), namely, bending, rotation and grasping, was designed. Its prototype, measuring 16 mm in diameter and 51 mm in length, was fabricated to demonstrate the proof of the concept.
