Robot-assisted laser osteotomy system based on dose–effect model-guided feedforward control
摘要
This study aimed to develop and evaluate a robot-assisted laser osteotomy system that regulates both ablation trajectory and ablation depth through dose–effect model-guided feedforward planning. A Ho:YAG laser delivery and scanning module was integrated with a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic platform, optical navigation, and layered osteotomy planning. Ex vivo porcine femur experiments were performed to establish tissue-specific dose–effect relationship models for cortical and cancellous bone under dynamic scanning conditions. The established models were incorporated into the planning layer to determine the number of ablation layers, scan passes, laser parameters, and robotic scanning trajectories before execution. The system was validated on ex vivo porcine mandible specimens using multiple curved osteotomy paths designed from preoperative CT-based three-dimensional models. Quantitative comparison between the planned and executed ablation geometries showed a mean positional error of 0.85 ± 0.50 mm, a mean angular error of 2.96
