Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research is to develop and utilize an endoscope robot with semi-automatic driving system, minute manipulation function, and computer assisted diagnosis system. In order to carry out the purpose, we divided the research into four categories.Category1 ; Endoscope robot with the development of semi-automatic driving system.We succeeded in the development of the manipulator which supports colonoscopy.Category2 ; Robot system with minute manipulation function.We built up the 2.6mm arms with 4 degree of freedom and a minute camera. We succeeded in utilize for ESD in a pig stomach.Category3 ; Construction of training and assessment system.We have been holding training seminar of laparoscopic surgery for more than 1, 700 surgeons. We constructed the automated system by which the trainees' data can be collected and evaluated.
