    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; Kiper, Gökhan; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can
    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.

    Viscoelastic Modeling of Human Nasal Tissues With a Mobile Measurement Device
    (Springer, 2019) Işıtman, Oğulcan; Ayit, Orhan; Vardarlı, Eren; Hanalioğlu, Şahin; Işıkay, İlkay; Berker, Mustafa; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can
    Modeling the dynamic of tool-tissue interaction for the robotic minimally invasive surgeries is one of the main issues for designing appropriate robot controllers. A mobile measurement device is produced in order to model some nasal tissues of a human. This mobile device is a hand-held one which measures the applied moments and relative angular displacements about a fixed pivot point. The ex-vivo measurements are realized by surgeons on a relatively fresh human cadaver head. The tip of the nose and the nasal concha are the two tissues that are investigated. In this study, five different viscoelastic models are considered; Elastic, Kelvin- Voight, Kelvin-Boltzmann, Maxwell and Hunt-Crossley. The results are evaluated and cross-validated on each data set. Hunt-Crossley and Kelvin-Boltzmann models provided the minimum root-mean-square (RMS) error among the other models.
