Path Algorithm for Medical Robots in Health Hazards Situation
Project Area of Specialization RoboticsProject SummaryProject Summary:
The core idea is to ensure safer and healthier Robotic Surgeries using Medical Robots. At a glance, we can assume that Robotic Surgeries are completely safe and free of blunders. Robotic surgeries are deliberately practised evacuating human efforts but still, there is a bridge we need to conquer. There are many puzzling circumstances in surgeries especially for robots working in an unstructured dynamic environment. Considering position errors in Medical Robots, the problem of Path Planning is giving rise to Health Hazard Situations such as if any obstacle comes in the working trajectory of any Medical Robot (Surgical Assistant), it may cause any lethal damage to the patient or to a surgeon. Autonomous Path Planning is the most important issue which should be resolved for improving the intelligence of Medical Robots. Our proposed project is to use advanced RRT (rapidly-exploring random trees) Algorithm to decrease position errors and to simulate results on MATLAB (Matrix Laboratory) and on ROS (Robotic Operating System). After doing so we will implement the simulated work on real-time systems using any well programmable Robotic Arm (Arduino Compatible Robotic Arm). So that we can further modify the Path Algorithm.
Project ObjectivesProject Objectives:
- Design a modified RRT Algorithm.
- Simulate in MATLAB.
- Check Reliability using ROS.
- Interfacing MATLAB and Arduino based Robotic Arm.
- Implement on Arduino based Robotic Arm.
Project Implementation Method:
Basically, the project is divided into three parts. First is about to design a Path Algorithm, Secondly, to simulate the Path Algorithm with MATLAB and ROS. Thirdly, to implement on Robotic Arm. After implementation, we will come to know about the authenticity of the algorithm, even we can check different dynamic obstacle control.
Benefits of the Project:
- Providing an improved RRT method.
- Algorithm can work in dynamic unstructured environment.
- Algorithm is tested in terms of reliability and on a Serial Manipulator.
- Proposed system is useful in preventing Health Hazard Situation during Surgical Processes.
- Improved Intelligence of Medical Robots.
Technical Details of Final Deliverable:
This prototype integrated system will be delivered along with its technical detailed reports. The system mainly consists of two parts:
- A software part of Path Algorithm built in MATLAB.
- An implementation on Hardware referring to Arduino based Robotic Arm.
