| Summary: | This report is written for the Final Year Project A130, titled “Design a Quick Connector for
Endoscopic Surgical Robots”. It provides a comprehensive overview of prototype development
of a quick connector for a novel surgical robot system. At this stage, a one Degree of Freedom
(DOF) motion study is mainly discussed for the proposed connector. As each DOF is controlled
by two motors, to include additional motors enables the extension of the connector for
instruments with multiple DOFs. Engineering design concepts and calculations that culminated
in the development of the prototype are presented in this report, followed by a comprehensive
discussion of the motor communication and programming aspect. Finally, experimental results
validating the functionality and reliability of the quick connector prototype was evaluated.
This project sets the stage for future advancements towards the completeness of the novel
surgical robot system. By devising a quick connector, it hopes to enhance efficiency and
workflow of robotic surgical procedures by addressing the challenges faced by time-consuming
manual instrument exchange. The outcomes are anticipated to contribute to the ongoing
evolution of surgical robotics, with an emphasis on efficiency, reliability, and patient safety. |
