Modeling and Control of a Pneumatic Soft Robotic Catheter Using Neural Koopman Operators

  • 通过端到端学习构建神经柯尔莫果洛夫算子,自动优化状态空间表示。
  • 位置误差2.1±0.4毫米,姿态误差4.9±0.6度,优于传统方法。
  • 适合心脏消融等需减少辐射暴露的临床场景。

导管介入手术广泛用于心脏病的诊断与治疗。近年来,机器人导管因能提升操作精度与稳定性而受到关注,但其柔性结构带来的复杂非线性行为使建模与控制仍具挑战。柯尔莫果洛夫算子可将原系统数据映射至线性“升维空间”,提供数据驱动的预测控制框架;然而,升维空间中手动选取的基函数常导致系统行为简化,影响控制性能。为此,本文提出一种神经网络增强的柯尔莫果洛夫算子框架,实现升维空间表示与算子的联合端到端学习。此外,为降低心脏消融中X射线造影带来的辐射暴露,研究了基于神经柯尔莫果洛夫算子的开环控制策略,实现无需持续影像反馈的可靠目标位姿到达。该方法在两种实验场景中验证:交互式位置控制与模拟心房腔体内的消融任务。结果表明,平均位置误差为2.1±0.4毫米,姿态误差为4.9±0.6度,显著优于模型基基准及其它柯尔莫果洛夫变体,在目标定位准确性和效率上均有提升。本研究展示了该框架在推进软体机器人导管系统与改善导管介入治疗中的潜力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Catheter-based interventions are widely used for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac diseases. Recently, robotic catheters have attracted attention for their ability to improve precision and stability over conventional manual approaches. However, accurate modeling and control of soft robotic catheters remain challenging due to their complex, nonlinear behavior. The Koopman operator enables lifting the original system data into a linear "lifted space", offering a data-driven framework for predictive control; however, manually chosen basis functions in the lifted space often oversimplify system behaviors and degrade control performance. To address this, we propose a neural network-enhanced Koopman operator framework that jointly learns the lifted space representation and Koopman operator in an end-to-end manner. Moreover, motivated by the need to minimize radiation exposure during X-ray fluoroscopy in cardiac ablation, we investigate open-loop control strategies using neural Koopman operators to reliably reach target poses without continuous imaging feedback. The proposed method is validated in two experimental scenarios: interactive position control and a simulated cardiac ablation task using an atrium-like cavity. Our approach achieves average errors of 2.1 +- 0.4 mm in position and 4.9 +- 0.6 degrees in orientation, outperforming not only model-based baselines but also other Koopman variants in targeting accuracy and efficiency. These results highlight the potential of the proposed framework for advancing soft robotic catheter systems and improving catheter-based interventions.
