Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we designed the structure of the surgical robot, which has the least burden on the operator's muscle activity. Since the surgical robot has a physical different structure from the human body,there is a "different embodiment". the trajectory becomes redundant and unnecessary force occurs at the movement range limit. To solve these problems, while the participant controlled the virtual surgical simulator, we measured the 3D position by motion capture system. We compared these data to human muscle activity model and clarify the loaded muscle point.
