A research of robotic surgery technique by the use of MEMS accelerometer

Summary form only given. Robotic surgery has become an important technology in the field of biomedicine surgical techniques in recent years. The major purpose of this technique is to economize the use of the limited resources and to expand the remote services of medical treatment. Besides, a patient receiving this technique, will have a small cut, get little pain, and be fast recovered to health. This technique also reduces the procedure of looking after the sick and conserves medical resource. This research uses modern navigation techniques to associate with MEMS accelerometers, and to develop an automatic navigation technique to replace the operator moving the control rod. There will be made an electronic map of the human body before the operation, and then the system follows the preset path to give a more precise, more easy and smooth. It minimizes surgical cut, manpower, and economics. Although the MEMS accelerometer is commercialized today, it's accuracy is not good enough, a milli-g is it's rough accuracy. This research, integrates the hardware and software in the laboratory to construct the MEMS navigation prototype. Afterwards a calibration process promotes its accuracy, and identifies the capability of its navigation function.
