Design and Calibration of Puncture Needle Shape Sensing Sensor Based on FBG
摘要
Accurately determining the shape and tip position of puncture needles in surgery is challenging due to the limitations of traditional sensors. This work introduces a Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor designed for this purpose. The sensor bonding and calibration platforms were developed, and a shape perception algorithm based on differential geometry was implemented. For a 150 mm puncture needle, the average tip positional error was 3.687 mm, with a maximum error of 6.832 mm. Additionally, a flexible hose-based curvature sensor was created for real-time sensing of the needle tip’s curvature. For a 30 mm needle, this sensor achieved an average positional error of 0.244 mm and a maximum error of 0.528 mm.
