| Research Abstract |
A new manipulator with a detachable commercial forceps was developed that allows minimally invasive robotically assisted endoscopic surgery by a surgeon working near the patient. The locally operated detachable end-effector manipulator (LODEM) that can act as a third arm for the surgeon was consisted of (1) forceps manipulator that coexisted with the surgeon, (2) locally operated interface that collaborated with the surgeon and the manipulator, and (3) method of measuring elasticity of organ using a stepper motor. These devices are highly promising for robotic surgery applications. Furthermore, this manipulator leads to reduce medical staff and the costs, patients waiting for their surgery, and become widely used endoscopic surgery.
