Abstract
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News – New research on Robotics is the subjec t of a report. According to news reporting out of Nanjing, People’s Republic of China, by NewsRx editors, research stated, “Master-slave remote control technolo gy allows patients to be treated promptly during transport and also reduces the risk of contagious infections. Endotracheal intubation, guided by endoscopy and a master-slave system, enables doctors to perform the procedure efficiently and accurately.” Financial support for this research came from Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities. Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the Nanjing Univers ity of Aeronautics and Astronautics, “In this paper, we present the development of a master-slave controlled endotracheal intubation robot (EIR). It is based on operation incremental mapping, a weighted recursive average filtering method to reduce vibration, and a virtual fixture designed to reduce mishandling in minim ally invasive surgery. Simulation analysis of the master-slave control demonstra tes that the weighted recursive average filtering method effectively reduces vib ration, while the virtual fixture assists in confining the operator’s movement w ithin a delimited area. Experimental validation confirms the validity of the rob ot’s structural design and control method.”
