Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Da Vinci is the remote controlled double arm-type of Master-Slave-type surgery assist robot used in cardiovascular and thoracoabdominal surgical field, and a growing number of facilities are employing it as minimally invasive surgery assisting system. However, the usefulness of Master-Slave-type surgery assistant robot which is now gaining attention is the transfixion suture centered operation under endoscope, and it is difficult to apply to the endodontic area as it is. The purpose of the present study is to establish infrastructure technology for the next generation treatment assistant robot that will enable ultra-fine work and treatment in the root canal that are invisible to the naked eye to visualized treatment by human hands that are controlled by stereoscopic image information, image processing technique and driving range limiting mechanism.
