触觉接口在医疗遥操作中至关重要,能为外科医生提供逼真的力与运动反馈。实现高保真度需平衡工作空间、灵活性、刚度、惯性与带宽,尤其在要求纯旋转运动的应用中。本文提出一种缆绳驱动同轴球面并联机构(CDC-SPM)的设计方法与运动学分析,聚焦于满足医疗任务特定需求的机械结构与参数化合成。该设计可将旋转中心外移到工具与组织作用点,同时保证足够的工作空间覆盖并避免碰撞。缆绳驱动结构减轻了机器人末端质量,降低惯性负载,提升刚度与动态响应。通过并联与同轴驱动,机构实现解耦的旋转自由度及各向同性的力矩传递。原型机验证了其机械可行性与运动学特性,证明该设计适用于未来超声成像等医疗触觉接口的集成。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Haptic interfaces play a critical role in medical teleoperation by enabling surgeons to interact with remote environments through realistic force and motion feedback. Achieving high fidelity in such systems requires balancing the trade-offs among workspace, dexterity, stiffness, inertia, and bandwidth, particularly in applications demanding pure rotational motion. This paper presents the design methodology and kinematic analysis of a Cable-Driven Coaxial Spherical Parallel Mechanism (CDC-SPM) developed to address these challenges. The proposed approach focuses on the mechanical design and parametric synthesis of the mechanism to meet task-specific requirements in medical applications. In particular, the design enables the relocation of the center of rotation to an external point corresponding to the tool-tissue interaction, while ensuring appropriate workspace coverage and collision avoidance. The proposed cable-driven interface design allows for reducing the mass placed at the robot arm end-effector, thereby minimizing inertial loads, enhancing stiffness, and improving dynamic responsiveness. Through parallel and coaxial actuation, the mechanism achieves decoupled rotational degrees of freedom with isotropic force and torque transmission. A prototype is developed to validate the mechanical feasibility and kinematic behavior of the proposed mechanism. These results demonstrate the suitability of the proposed mechanism design for future integration into haptic interfaces for medical applications such as ultrasound imaging.
