Development of a Safety Design and Evaluation Research for Minimally Invasive Surgery Robot

MIS robot; safety design; equivalent stiffness; safety assessment

Since the minimally invasive surgery robot(MISR) has been widely used in hospitals , people pay more and more attention to the safety of minimally invasive surgery. Based on the analysis of security requirements for medical robots, a novel safety design is proposed. The principle and equivalent stiffness of the safety design was researched by the use of analytical method. In the paper, a kind of safety assessment method is defined and safety assessment is also involved. The safety assessment proved that the protection module could improve safety for medical robots.
