| Research Abstract |
Our objective is to develop a miniature multi-DOFs manipulator with high reliability for more secure and efficient minimal invasive endoscopic surgery. We propose a new driving method using multiple miniature gears and realize multi-joint cylindrical frames by minimal mechanical elements. In this research we have made two prototypes of 5-mm 2-DOFs manipulator and 3-mm 1-DOF manipulator.
