Robot-assisted surgical tool systems can be used to overcome this drawback. In this thesis, a 3 degrees-of-freedom (DOF) robotic arm with 6-axis force feedback for minimally invasive surgery is presented. This prototype contains a 2 DOF spherical wrist, which can pitch +/-90 degrees and yaw +/-35 degrees, and a gripper with 6 mm diameter and 32 mm length. This end-effector is actuated using DC motors by means of a cable drive mechanism. A 6-axis force/torque sensor allows accurate measurement of end-effector forces. 2011 English text Case Western Reserve University School of Graduate Studies / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1283538593 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1283538593 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
