A robot system for medical ultrasound
نویسنده
چکیده
A teleoperation approach to diagnostic ultrasound, in which the ultrasound transducer is positioned by a robot, is described in this paper. An inherently safe counterbalanced robot has been designed and tested in carotid artery examinations. The feasibility of using visual servoing for motion in the plane of the ultrasound probe has also been demonstrated using a modified image correlation algorithm and feature tracking algorithms. Research issues that have arisen in developing this and other systems designed for human augmentation are also presented.

A master-slave type remote ultrasound diagnostic system was developed. This paper presents its controller. The controller has impedance control capability for the master and slave manipulators' positions. And it has also continuous path(CP) control capability for the slave manipulator's orientation. The impedance control allows the master and slave manip-ulators to move according to the motion ...
متن کاملPerformance Prediction of a Flexible Manufacturing System
The present investigation presents a stochastic model for a flexible manufacturing system consisting of flexible machine, loading/unloading robot and an automated pallethandling device. We consider unreliable flexible manufacturing cell (FMC) wherein machine and robot operate under individual as well as common cause random failures. The pallethandling system is completely reliable. The pallet o...
