柔性内窥镜机器人可通过自然腔道进行微创操作,但其控制精度受限于腱鞘机构(TSM)的配置相关滞回特性。腱鞘摩擦与腱弹性导致近端驱动输入与远端输出间存在系统性偏差,且该偏差随插入管配置变化。本文提出自感应腱环(SSTL),采用双回路结构,沿插入管路由远端滑轮绕回近端,使输入输出张力可在近端同步测量,无需远端力传感器或光纤传感。由于SSTL与驱动TSM共用路径,二者滞回行为高度相关。基于SSTL张力数据,通过学习方法估计驱动TSM的配置依赖滞回参数,并用于前馈控制器实现滞回补偿。在三种插入管配置下验证,对正弦与随机轨迹,平均均方根误差较未补偿基线降低88.1%,性能达到直接识别(需直接测量输入输出张力)的97.8%。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Flexible endoscopic robots enable minimally invasive access through natural orifices, but their control accuracy is limited by configuration-dependent hysteresis in the tendon-sheath mechanisms (TSMs). Tendon-sheath friction and tendon elasticity induce a systematic discrepancy between the proximal actuation input and distal output, and this discrepancy varies with the insertion tube configuration. To address this challenge, this paper proposes the Self-Sensing Tendon Loop (SSTL), a double-pass tendon loop routed through the insertion tube and wrapped around a distal pulley, and returned to the proximal end. The loop structure allows both the input and output tensions of the SSTL to be measured proximally, thereby providing an input-output tension profile without requiring distal force or fiber-optic sensors. Because the SSTL shares the same routing path as the actuation TSM, the two TSMs exhibit strongly correlated hysteresis behaviors. From the SSTL tension profile, a learning-based mapping estimates the configuration-dependent hysteresis parameters of the actuation TSM, which are then used by a feedforward controller to compensate for actuation hysteresis. We validate the proposed method by tracking actuation tendon tension under three different insertion tube configurations. Across sinusoidal and random trajectories, the proposed method reduces average RMSE by 88.1% compared with the uncompensated baseline, achieving 97.8% of the performance of direct identification, which requires direct measurement of the input and output tension profile of the actuation TSM.
