摘要

This paper introduces the development and preliminary validation of a novel parallel robot specifically engineered for laparoscopic pancreatic surgeries. Parallel robots, unlike traditional serial robotic systems, provide superior stiffness, precision, and payload capacity, attributes that are crucial for delicate surgical procedures. The study elaborates on the design of a surgical robot aimed at assisting surgeons during laparoscopic pancreatic surgeries. Key objectives include expanding the operational field to facilitate better access to the pancreas and enhancing the efficiency of medical protocols. The design process is comprehensively detailed, starting from medical task parameters to the kinematic architecture and functional capabilities of the proposed parallel robot. The robot features a modular architecture comprising an active 3°-of-freedom parallel mechanism and a passive spherical parallel mechanism. This configuration supports a new active surgical instrument with four degrees of freedom, significantly enhancing dexterity and enabling surgeons to access deep organs more effectively. To assess the robot’s efficacy, a series of laboratory tests were conducted to simulate conditions typical of laparoscopic pancreatic surgeries. The results indicate substantial improvements in surgical maneuverability, precision, and ergonomic efficiency, underscoring the robot’s potential to enhance surgical outcomes.
