    Enabling Personalization of a Robotic Surgery Procedure Via a Surgery Training Simulator
    (Cambridge University Press, 2022) Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Büyüköztekin, Tarık; Büyüköztekin, Tarık; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Berker, Mustafa; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 03. Faculty of Engineering
    Although robotic or robot-assisted surgery has been increasingly used by many surgical disciplines, its application in cranial or skull base surgery is still in its infancy. Master-slave teleoperation setting of these robotic systems enables these surgical procedures to be replicated in a virtual reality environment for surgeon training purposes. A variety of teleoperation modes were previously determined with respect to the motion capability of the surgeon's hand that wears the ring as the surgeon handles a surgical tool inside the surgical workspace. In this surgery training simulator developed for a robot-assisted endoscopic skull base surgery, a new strategy is developed to identify the preferred motion axes of the surgeon. This simulator is designed specifically for tuning the teleoperation system for each surgeon via the identification. This tuning capability brings flexibility to adjust the system operation with respect to the motion characteristics of the surgeon.

    Gravity Compensation of a 2r1t Mechanism With Remote Center of Motion for Minimally Invasive Transnasal Surgery Applications [article]
    (Cambridge University Press, 2023) Aldanmaz, Ataol Behram; Ayit, Orhan; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Kiper, Gökhan; Ayit, Orhan; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    This work addresses the gravity balancing of a 2R1T (2 rotations – 1 translation) mechanism with remote center of motion. A previously developed balancing solution is modified and applied to a prototype and test results are presented. The mechanism is an endoscope holder for minimally invasive transnasal pituitary gland surgery. In this surgery, the endoscope is inserted through a nostril of the patient through a natural path to the pituitary gland. During the surgery, it is vital for the manipulator to be statically balanced so that in case of a motor failure, the patient is protected against any harmful motion of the endoscope. Additionally, static balancing takes the gravitational load from the actuators and hence facilitates the control of the mechanism. The mechanism is a 2URRR-URR type parallel manipulator with three legs. The payload mass is distributed to the legs on the sides. By using counter-masses for two links of each leg, the center of mass of each leg is lumped on the proximal link which simplifies the problem to balancing of a two degree-of-freedom inverted pendulum. The two proximal links with the lumped mass are statically balanced via springs. Dynamic simulations indicate that when the mechanism is statically balanced, generated actuator torques are reduced by 93.5%. Finally, the balancing solution is implemented on the prototype of the manipulator. The tests indicate that the manipulator is statically balanced within its task space when the actuators are disconnected. When the actuators are connected, the torque requirements decrease by about 37.8% with balancing.

    Toward Safe and High-Performance Human-Robot Collaboration Via Implementation of Redundancy and Understanding the Effects of Admittance Term Parameters
    (Cambridge University Press, 2022) Kanık, Mert; Ayit, Orhan; Ayit, Orhan; Tatlıcıoğlu, Enver; Tatlıcıoğlu, Enver; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; 03.05.

    Summary Today, demandsin industrial manufacturing mandate humans to work with large-scale industrial robots, and this collaboration may result in dangerous conditions for humans. To deal with this situation, this work proposes a novel approach for redundant large-scale industrial robots. In the proposed approach, an admittance controller is designed to regulate the interaction between the end effector of the robot and the human. Additionally, an obstacle avoidance algorithm is implemented in the null space of the robot to prevent any possible unexpected collision between the human and the links of the robot. After safety performance of this approach is verified via simulations and experimental studies, the effect of the parameters of the admittance controller on the performance of collaboration in terms of both accuracy and total human effort is investigated. This investigation is carried out via 8 experiments by the participation of 10 test subjects in which the effect of different admittance controller parameters such as mass and damper are compared. As a result of this investigation, tuning insights for such parameters are revealed.

    Investigation of Longitudinal Friction Characteristics of an Omnidirectional Wheel Via Lugre Model
    (Cambridge University Press, 2021) Şahin, Osman Nuri; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Şahin, Osman Nuri; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 03. Faculty of Engineering
    In recent years, omnidirectional wheels have found more applications in the design of automated guided vehicles (AGV). In this work, LuGre friction model is used for an omnidirectional wheel. A test setup that includes a single omnidirectional wheel is designed and constructed to identify the model parameters. With the help of the constructed test setup, the longitudinal friction characteristic of the omnidirectional wheel is obtained, and the model is verified via validation tests. In addition, for the first time, the effect of lateral frictional force on longitudinal motion is examined for an omnidirectional wheel through experiments.

    A Multi-Priority Controller for Industrial Macro-Micro Manipulation
    (Cambridge University Press, 2021) Uzunoğlu, Emre; Tatlıcıoğlu, Enver; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Tatlıcıoğlu, Enver; 03.05. Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    In this study, a control algorithm is proposed and evaluated for a special type of kinematically redundant manipulator. This manipulator is comprised of two mechanisms, macro and micro mechanisms, with distinct acceleration and work space characteristics. A control algorithm is devised to minimize the task completion duration and the overall actuator effort with respect to the conventional manipulator. A general framework multi-priority controller for macro-micro manipulators is introduced by utilizing virtual dynamics, which is introduced in null-space projection to achieve secondary tasks. The proposed controller is evaluated on a simulation model based on a previously constructed macro-micro manipulator for planar laser cutting. Task completion duration and the total actuator effort are investigated and the results are compared. Copyright © The Author(s), 2020. Published by Cambridge University Press.

    Extending Model-Mediation Method To Multi-Degree Teleoperation Systems Experiencing Time Delays in Communication
    (Cambridge University Press, 2017) Uzunoğlu, Emre; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Uzunoğlu, Emre; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    SUMMARY In this study, a bilateral teleoperation control algorithm is developed in which the model-mediation method is integrated with an impedance controller. The model-mediation method is also extended to three-degrees-of-freedom teleoperation. The aim of this controller is to compensate for instability issues and excessive forcing applied to the slave environment stemming from time delays in communication. The proposed control method is experimentally tested with two haptic desktop devices. Test results indicate that stability and passivity of the bilateral teleoperation system is preserved under variable time delays in communication. It is also observed that safer interactions of the slave system with its environment can be achieved by utilizing an extended version of the model-mediation method with an impedance controller.
