- BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Recent studies on endoscopic submucosal dissection have aimed to reduce the difficulty of the procedure by using multi-degrees-of-freedom articulating devices. In this study, we evaluated the usefulness of adding three-dimensional (3D) video imaging into simulated endoscopic submucosal dissection tasks using multi-degrees-of-freedom devices. METHODS: We designed an endoscopic platform with a 3D camera and two multi-degrees-of-freedom devices. Four ex vivo bench tasks were created, and a crossover study comparing 2D and 3D conditions was conducted on 15 volunteers. In each task, performance such as procedure time and accuracy were objectively evaluated. Additionally, a comprehensive visual analogue scale questionnaire was conducted. RESULTS: In the tasks simulating submucosal flap grasping, marking, and full-area incision, the use of 3D imaging significantly improved the speed and accuracy of the multi-degrees-of-freedom device manipulation (p < .01). No significant differences were observed in the task that simulated the dissection procedure. Furthermore, it appears that the accuracy of recognizing curved surfaces may be reduced in the 3D environment. Operators reported subjective increases in recognizability and operability with the 3D camera, along with an increase in asthenopia (p < .01). CONCLUSIONS: 3D vision improves the technical accuracy of certain simulated multi-degrees-of-freedom endoscopic submucosal dissection tasks and subjectively improved operating conditions, at the cost of increased eye strain.2024年01月, Asian journal of endoscopic surgery, 17(1) (1), e13275, 英語, 国内誌研究論文(学術雑誌)

- Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is a viable alternative to general surgery with distinct advantages. Robotically assisted MIS, has been demonstrated to achieve higher accuracy and repeatability in comparison with those of manual procedures. Despite these advantages, owing to the nature of some surgical procedures in which dexterous tissue manipulations in deep narrow areas of the human body are necessary, there is a need for further miniaturized tools with smaller bending radii. To cater to this requirement, this study proposes a new compliant mechanism based surgical robotic forceps. It can generate four degrees of freedom at the tip of the forceps including two bending motions in two perpendicular axes, grasping and rotation. A better combination of the stress distribution through the elastic material, grasping force, and range of motion was determined based on a series of finite element analyses. In addition, the manufactured prototype underwent a series of laboratory experiments to evaluate its effectiveness. Details of the mechanism, finite element analysis, prototype implementation, and evaluations are presented in this paper.2023年, Advanced Robotics, 37(4) (4), 270 - 280研究論文(学術雑誌)

- Gastrointestinal cancer, when detected early, is treated by accessing the lesion through the natural orifice using flexible endoscopes. However, the limited degree-of-freedom (DOF) of conventional treatment devices and the narrow surgical view through the endoscope demand advanced techniques. In contrast, multi-DOF forceps systems are an excellent alternative; however, these systems often involve high fabrication costs because they require a large number of micro-parts. To solve this problem, we designed compact multi-DOF endoluminal forceps with a monolithic structure comprising compliant hinges. To allow an efficient stress dispersion at the base end when the hinge bends, we proposed a novel design method to obtain the hinge parameters using the beam of uniform strength theory. This method does not involve a high computational cost. The results show that the improved design with a variable hinge thickness can reduce the maximum bending stress, dispersing the stress in a larger area than that of the previous design considering a constant thickness of the hinge. Moreover, the experiments conducted in a prototype confirm that the radius of the curvature was significantly improved. The proposed method could aid in designing other continuum robots relying on compliant hinges.MDPI AG, 2022年02月, Applied Sciences, 12(5) (5), 2480 - 2480研究論文(学術雑誌)

- Early-stage gastrointestinal cancer is often treated by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) using a flexible endoscope. Compared with conventional percutaneous surgery, ESD is much less invasive and provides a high quality of life for the patient because it does not require a skin incision, and the organ is preserved. However, the operator must be highly skilled because ESD requires using a flexible endoscope with energy devices, which have limited degrees of freedom. To facilitate easier manipulation of these flexible devices, we developed a surgical robot comprising a flexible endoscope and two articulating instruments. The robotic system is based on a conventional flexible endoscope, and an extrapolated motor unit moves the endoscope in all its degrees of freedom. The instruments are thin enough to allow insertion of two instruments into the endoscope channel, and each instrument has a bending section that allows for up–down, right–left, and forward–backward motion. In this study, we performed anAmerican Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2020年12月, Cyborg and Bionic Systems, 2020, 1 - 9, 英語
ex vivo feasibility evaluation using the proposed robotic system for ESD in a porcine stomach. The procedure was successfully performed by five novice operators without complications. Our findings demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed robotic system and, furthermore, suggest that even operators with limited experience can use this system to perform ESD.[査読有り]研究論文(学術雑誌) - 2020年08月, IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 5(4) (4), 英語, 国際誌Self-Propelled Colonoscopy Robot using Flexible Paddles[査読有り]
- The mechanism underlying tissue fusion mediated by laser irradiation remains unclear. We clarify the mechanisms underlying laser-mediated tissue fusion using a novel model. Microscopic examinations of morphological changes within the adventitia of a bovine carotid artery and a collagen sheet prepared from bovine dermis showed collagen fibril bundle loosening and collagen fibre swelling following heating at 46 °C. An incised bovine carotid artery covered with a collagen sheet to which pressure and laser heat of 40 °C-52 °C were applied created a structure that was pressure resistant to >300 mmHg. Microscopic analyses of the irradiation site showed collagen fibril interdigitation. Hence, low-temperature laser-mediated tissue fusion causes collagen fibril bundles to loosen and swell, and crimping causes the fibres to intertwine. As the temperature declines, the loosened and swollen fibrils and fibres tighten, and collagen fibre interdigitation is completed. This technology could be applied to fuse tissues during surgery.2019年06月, Scientific reports, 9(1) (1), 9383 - 9383, 英語, 国際誌[査読有り]研究論文(学術雑誌)
- Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) is one of the most successful applications of surgical robots. Although the introduction of robotic technology has brought a number of benefits, further advancements in MIS are limited by the size and bending radius of instruments. In this paper, we present a compliant four degree-of-freedom manipulator that consists of elastic elements with partly thinner structures. The proposed mechanism allows the elastic element to deform locally, thus minimizing its bending radius while the low number of mechanical parts greatly contributes to its compactness. This paper describes the design strategy, optimization method using FEA, prototype implementation, and evaluations. The evaluations reveal high accuracy and repeat accuracy, which are key elements for robotic instruments in MIS. Further, the prototype is able to exert sufficient force and it is possible to perform a simulated needle insertion task using the manipulator, demonstrating the feasibility of the proposed mechanism.2019年05月, Proceedings - IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2019-May, 2663 - 2669研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス)

- Construction of Automatic Scoring System to Support Objective Evaluation of Clinical Skills in Medical EducationIn this study, we focused on the automatic scoring of medical clinical abilities. The objective clinical ability tests that all undergraduate students take before starting clinical practice were considered. As these tests evaluate practical skills, there is a problem that the learning method is poor compared to the examination of other lectures. Therefore, in this study, we recorded the voice of a student examining a simulated patient using a microphone. We constructed a system comprising a speech recognition module and a scoring system that performed automatic scoring by checking against a prepared example answer. This system was evaluated by medical doctors.IEEE, 2019年, 2019 41ST ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF THE IEEE ENGINEERING IN MEDICINE AND BIOLOGY SOCIETY (EMBC), 4177 - 4181, 英語[査読有り]研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス)

- Microsurgery, often performed for anastomosis of small vessels and nerves, requires micromanipulations of small tissues and thus requires highly specialized surgical skills. Robotic technology has great potential to assist with microsurgical treatments because of the high accuracy provided by robots; however, implementation remains challenging because the technical requirements of robotic surgery are far different from those in industry. One of the greatest challenges is that two surgical tools (e.g., tweezers) must be precisely and deftly moved around the surgical area in seven degrees of freedom (DOF) using one DOF to grasp each tool, and these tools are used in close proximity to each other. Additionally, high accuracy and rigidity at the tool tip are imperative for successful performance of the microsurgical procedure. In this study, we propose a new rotational two-DOF parallel mechanism that has the inherent advantages of a parallel mechanism, namely accuracy and rigidity, within a newly proposed spherical and non-spherical combined parallel structure to prevent collision of the two mechanisms in a dual-arm setup for microsurgery. The prototype was evaluated by performing a series of mechanical tests, and microsurgical suturing was performed by a microsurgical robotic system. The series of evaluations demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed mechanism.2018年12月, Journal of Robotics and Mechatronics, 30(6) (6), 846 - 854, 英語, 国際誌[査読有り]研究論文(学術雑誌)

- Transpyloric tube insertion is a commonly intervention which consists in inserting a tube through the nose, the oesophagus and the stomach until the pylorus. This procedure can be done blindly if no licensed physician operator is available. Thus, the caregivers have to insert the tube without any visual feedbacks. The position of the tube has also to be conformed to avoid any issues. We proposed a guidance system for the insertion of this tube through an augmented reality application using an electromagnetic tracker. The trajectory and the orientation of the tube were visualized on a screen to monitor the tube insertion but also to conform the position of the tube tip inside the pylorus. This monitoring was improved by adding preoperative landmarks coming from a CT image or intraoperative landmarks obtained with ultrasound. Finally, the display was overlaid on a camera view to match the tube trajectory on the patient during the insertion so the clinicians directly visualized anatomical landmarks to guide themselves during the tube insertion. Preliminary results on one phantom showed the usefulness of our guidance system for blindly tube insertion. Further evaluations have to be realized on animals and on patients to validate these results.Springer Verlag, 2016年, Lecture Notes in Computer Science (including subseries Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence and Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics), 9805, 198 - 207, 英語研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス)

[Purpose]Ultrasonography is one of widely used noninvasive and convenient methods. However, relatively large measurement variability is a problem to be solved. We developed a robot system for carotid arterial measurement by ultrasonography. In this study, we evaluated variability of the measurements of intima media thickness and carotid arterial diameter. [Methods] The robot consisted of one arm with 6-axis, which is operated by remote control with a probe shaped controller. Data acquisition was executed according to the sign which indicated the distinct intima separated from adventitia by echo-transparent media layer. The variability was measured by two observers with or without the robot system. [Results] There was no difference in acquisition time between the measurements with or without robot. However, variabilities of the measurements with the robot were lower than that without the robot (p<0.05). [Conclusion] The robot system has a potential to reduce variability of ultrasonographic measurements
- Development of intra-operative ultrasound navigation system for laparoscopic liver surgeryIn laparoscopic liver surgery, laparoscopic ultrasound (LUS) is indispensable to understand inner structure such as vessels and tumors. However, LUS is not convenient due to poor operability, and does not provide positional information in the endoscopic view. To address the issue, we have developed both a robotic hand for LUS and a 3D visualization software. In this study, we describe the software which provide 3D ultrasound by scanning LUS. To confirm the system feasibility, an experiment using a polyurethane liver phantom was conducted. Figure shows the reconstructed volume with vessels. The computational time was approximately 50 msec less than typical imaging period of ultrasound.2016年, Transactions of Japanese Society for Medical and Biological Engineering, 54(PROC) (PROC), 1 - 2研究論文(学術雑誌)

- Operability study on the Multisensory Illusion inducible in Microsurgical Robotic SystemsThe Rubber Hand Illusion is a well known multisensory illusion in which the participant feels their own unseen hand become a rubber hand that is placed at the position where their hand is supposedly placed, triggered by synchronized haptic stimuli on their hand and the rubber hand. Our previous study showed that a robotized 1-degree-of-freedom rubber hand in the form of a master-slave system significantly enhanced the illusion compared with the classic rubber hand illusion. The illusion gives the sense that the part of body becomes part of the robot -it is thus assumed that this multisensory illusion is a potentially effective way to increase intuitiveness, and therefore increase the operability of a multi-degrees-of-freedom masterslave system. To further investigate the concept, we built a multisensory illusion inducible microsurgical robotic system based on the findings of the previous study and conducted a series of psychophysical experiments. The experimental results reveal that the multisensory illusion and operability is significantly correlated.IEEE, 2015年, 2015 IEEE/RSJ INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON INTELLIGENT ROBOTS AND SYSTEMS (IROS), 579 - 584, 英語[査読有り]研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス)
- Robotic technology in the form of master-slave system provides dexterous motions in the confined workspace while increasing the accuracy in motion. Surgical robot is one example that the robotic technology has been successfully introduced in the market, and its applicable area is currently increasing. As an extension of the concept, we develop a laparoscopic manipulator to perform an ultrasonic scan in the abdominal cavity. The prototype was built as a hand-held device with three degree-of-freedom that can perform a dexterous ultrasonic scan in the confined abdominal cavity that has been difficult using conventional surgical tools. In this paper, we introduce the mechanical structure and its evaluation.一般社団法人日本機械学会, 2015年, The Abstracts of the international conference on advanced mechatronics : toward evolutionary fusion of IT and mechatronics : ICAM, 2015, 126 - 127, 英語
- In recent years, robotic surgery has been widely performed in clinical practice, therefore the surgeons are becoming more and more familiarized with surgical robotic tools. Although the strong needs at clinical side, laparoscopy, one of the most performed minimally invasive surgery, is not widely performed using robotic system. To develop a further compact, lightweight, versatile surgical robotic system for laparoscopy, we designed novel robotic forceps developed based on Soft Robotics within the diameter of 6 mm. In this paper, we present concept, mechanical design and preliminary assessment of the developed prototype.一般社団法人日本機械学会, 2015年, The Abstracts of the international conference on advanced mechatronics : toward evolutionary fusion of IT and mechatronics : ICAM, 2015, 62 - 63, 英語
- In recent years, robotic technology has been introduced in surgery in the form of master slave system and its applicable surgical area is widely spreading. Minimally invasive surgery and microsurgery are the representing applications of the robotic surgery that the surgeon performs the dexterous and ne operations in the deep or narrow surgical area in micro-scale. The intuitiveness is thus highly desirable to perform the highly elaborated surgical tasks such as suturing for surgical master slave systems. To increase the operability, time-delay of system response, haptic feedback and eye-hand coordination issues have mainly been discussed in the field of robotics. In addition to these approaches, we propose a surgical robotic system that induces multisensory illusion. In our previous study, we reported that the robotic instruments enhances the multisensory illusion. In this paper, we determine the requirements for inducing the multisensory illusion on a multi-DOF master slave system and the first stage of prototype implementation based on the given requirements is described.IEEE, 2014年, 2014 JOINT 7TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SOFT COMPUTING AND INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS (SCIS) AND 15TH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ADVANCED INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS (ISIS), 13(4) (4), 1238 - 1242, 英語[査読有り]研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス)
- Physicians use ultrasound scans to do diagnosis by making real-time images of internal organs, because such scans are safe, inexpensive, and non-invasive. However, aging society and limited numbers of physician make it difficult for patients in remote areas to be diagnosed. Besides, physician's technical skills affect the interpretation of the scans and thus the results of the examination. Thus, development of a robotic system for remote diagnosis is required to solve the problems. For this purpose, we proposed the development of a robotic system for automatic ultrasound imaging focusing on human liver. In this paper, we present several elements developed for the robotic system. First element is an algorithm for estimating the position of liver to guide the probe to scan initial position which is the epigastric region. Second element is ultrasound probe scanning protocol design to obtain whole image of the liver. Third element is force control algorithm to maintain the contact between the probe and human body even though the patient is breathing. Fourth element is an algorithm for detecting and correcting the probe's position when improper ultrasound images occurred. These algorithms with an implementation program control the apparatus: a Mitsubishi Electric's MELFA RV-1 six axis manipulator and tested on human subjects. The results confirmed the effectiveness of the approach. © 2013 IEEE.IEEE Computer Society, 2013年, 2013 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics, ROBIO 2013, 804 - 809, 英語研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス)
- One of the important tasks required for sonographers is an accurate positioning of ultrasound probe. Especially, the measurement of the diameter of the blood vessel is affected by the positioning error of the probe. For this purpose, we have been developing a robot system for the medical ultrasound diagnosis, which composed of a 6-DOFs probe manipulator and supporting arm. In this paper, we present an implementation of fully automated positioning algorithm of the ultrasound probe on the carotid artery, by means of image feedback. A probe holding robot firstly detects the patient skin, then scans and detects the longitudinal section of the carotid artery, guide the probe towards the position where the tissue layers of the artery walls are most clearly observed. Furthermore, a new method of the visual servoing for tracking the out-of-plane motion for the medical ultrasound is presented. Automated positioning algorithm is tested in eleven volunteers and the results show that the system successfully completed the task in 91% of the trials. Visual servoing algorithm is also tested and the experimental results show its effectiveness.The Robotics Society of Japan, 2011年09月, 日本ロボット学会誌, 29(7) (7), 626 - 633, 日本語, 国内誌[査読有り]

- Implementation of an Automatic Scanning and Detection Algorithm for the Carotid Artery by an Assisted-Robotic Measurement SystemIn this paper, we present a robotic system which automatically searches and detects the longitudinal section of the carotid artery using a conventional medical ultrasound diagnostic system. In order to obtain a clear image of the carotid artery ready for medical diagnosis, the authors developed real-time image processing algorithms to detect the carotid artery and tissue layers of its walls in the B-mode ultrasound images. Sequential patterns of the ultrasound probe trajectory for scanning the surface of the neck and searching the carotid, were implemented and tested on the Waseda-Tokyo Women's Medical-Aloka Blood Flow Measurement Robot System No. 1 Refined II (WTA-1RII). An experiment with eleven volunteers was carried out and the results show that the system obtained clear images of the carotid artery in 91% of the trials.IEEE, 2010年, IEEE/RSJ 2010 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON INTELLIGENT ROBOTS AND SYSTEMS (IROS 2010), 313 - 318, 英語研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス)
- Development of the Two-Wheeled Inverted Pendulum Type Mobile Robot WV-2R for Educational PurposesThe rapidly increase of personal robotic platforms and their applications in Japan represents a great challenge for universities to introduce undergraduate students the basic knowledge required to develop intelligent automated mechanisms. For this purpose; in this paper, we are presenting our approach to introduce first year undergraduate students of the Department of Modern Mechanical Engineering the basics of robotics systems. In order to foster the creativity of undergraduate students of engineering fields, we focused in developing an education tool designed to introduce at different educational levels the principle of developing mechatronic systems. In particular, the development of an inverted pendulum mobile robot Waseda Wheeled Vehicle No. 2 (WV-2R) has been proposed. Different kinds of experiments were proposed to confirm the possibility or implementing controllers as well as changing physical properties of the system to observe differences on the response of the system. From the experimental results, we could confirm the effectiveness of the proposed systems to control the angle of pendulum respect to the body base as well as by changing the radius of the wheel.IEEE, 2009年, 2009 IEEE-RSJ INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON INTELLIGENT ROBOTS AND SYSTEMS, 2347 - 2352, 英語研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス)
- Development of a Robotic Carotid Blood Measurement WTA-1RII: Mechanical Improvement of Gravity Compensation Mechanism and Optimal Link Position of the Parallel Manipulator based on GAIn recent years, due to the increasing rate of elderly people in Japan, the needs to detect adults' diseases at the early stage becomes a high priority. In particular, an increased interest in detecting heart and cerebrovascular diseases at an early stage may allow clinicians to begin treatment sooner (when more treatment options are available), when interventions are generally more effective and less expensive. For this purpose, the introduction of robotic-assisted technology has advantages in terms of repetitiveness and accuracy of the measurement procedure. Therefore, at Waseda University, we have proposed the development of a carotid blood flow measurement system to support doctors while using ultrasound diagnostic equipments to detect arteriosclerosis and myocardial ischemia by measuring wave intensity. In this paper, the Waseda-Tokyo Women's Medical-Aloka Blood Flow Measurement System No. 1 Refined II (WTA-1RII) is detailed. The WTA-1RII is composed by an ultrasound diagnostic system and a probe-supporting robotic device. The robotic device is composed by a parallel link manipulator (for fine adjustment) and a passive arm (for rough positioning). The WTA-1RII has improved the design of the gravity compensation mechanism (composed by a constant force spring attached to a slide guide). In addition, a genetic algorithm has been implemented to determine the optimal link's position of the 6-DOF parallel manipulator to increase the workspace. Finally, a set of experiments were carried out to determine the usability of the proposed system.IEEE, 2009年, 2009 IEEE/ASME INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ADVANCED INTELLIGENT MECHATRONICS, VOLS 1-3, 717 - +, 英語研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス)

- Development of Assisted-Robotic System Designed to Measure the Wave Intensity with an Ultrasonic Diagnostic DeviceIn recent years, due to the increasing rate of elderly people in Japan, the needs to detect adults' diseases at the early stage becomes a high priority. In particular, an increased interest in detecting heart and cerebrovascular diseases at an early stage may allow clinicians to begin treatment sooner, when interventions are generally more effective and less expensive. Recently, the Wave Intensity (WI) has been proposed as a new hemodynamic index that provides information about the dynamic behavior of the heart and the vascular system and their interaction. However; the repetitiveness and accuracy of the WI measurement depend on the precision of the positioning of the ultrasound probe. Therefore a positioning device for ultrasound probe is required. Such a device should not only be used to keep the position but also for the fine positioning of the probe. For this purpose, at Waseda University, we have proposed the development of a robot system to assist a carotid blood flow measurement using ultrasound diagnostic equipments. In this paper, the development of Waseda-Tokyo Women's Medical-Aloka Blood Flow Measurement System No. 1 Refined II (WTA-1RII is detailed. The system consists of an ultrasound diagnostic device, a 6-DOFs parallel link manipulator, a serial link passive arm, ball joint, and a joystick type controller. The WTA-1RII has improved the design of the gravity compensation mechanism. In addition, a genetic algorithm has by implemented to determine the optimal link's position of the 6-DOFs parallel manipulator to increase the workspace. Finally, a set of experiments were carried out to determine the usability of the proposed system.IEEE, 2009年, 2009 IEEE-RSJ INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON INTELLIGENT ROBOTS AND SYSTEMS, 510 - 515, 英語研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス)

Thus, a workspace analysis is carried out by referring to a built prototype that is named as WTA-1R (Waseda-Tokyo women's medical Aloka blood flow measurement system no.1 Refined). Then, mechanical design enhancements are proposed.SPRINGER, 2009年, COMPUTATIONAL KINEMATICS, PROCEEDINGS, 283 - +, 英語研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス)

内視鏡的粘膜下層剥離術(endoscopic submucosal dissection, ESD)は早期胃癌・大腸癌・食道癌に対する極めて有効かつ低侵襲な根治術である.これは,鉗子口より電気メスを出し,スコープ操作(上下左右の屈曲,捩り,押し・引き)によって腫瘍の全周切開と剥離を行う術式である.しかし,スコープ操作で切開・剥離を行うことから,安全かつ短時間で処置を完了するためには相当の訓練が必要であり,欧米では日常的な選択肢として普及していない.そこで,片手で直感的な操作を実現するため,市販の内視鏡を取り付けてマスター・スレイブ化するロボットを開発した.システムはダイヤル部を取り付けるホルダーと患者挿入部付近の軟性部を把持・押し引きする内視鏡把持部,上下左右と捩りが可能なジョイスティック型ハンドルをリニアガイド上に設置した4自由度の入力が可能なマスターコントローラで構成される.ホルダーと内視鏡の取り付けには,機種・メーカーによるダイヤル部の形状の差異を吸収するためのカプラーを2枚の各ダイヤルに取り付けることとした.開発したロボットの精度評価として,マスターを用いずにソフトウェア上で各自由度に対して正弦波の信号を入力し,電磁気式位置計測装置を用いて内視鏡先端部の動きを計測した.実験の結果,200msec程度の遅れで,上下,左右,捩り,押し引きの各操作が可能であることが確認された.

- 2A1-C01 Multi-sensory Illusion導入による微細手術用マスタ・スレーブシステムの開発および操作性評価に関する報告Body ownership transfer in the rubber hand illusion is a well-known multisensory illusion in literature. In our previous study, we have investigated the components to increase the multisensory illusion using robotic instruments. Based on the findings shown in the previous study, we developed a microsurgical robotic system for the further investigation of multisensory illusion in the form of multi-degree-of-freedom master slave system. In this paper, we report the effect of multisensory illusion in terms of the operability on the developed microsurgical robot. The experimental results showed the operability is significantly correlated to the multisensory illusion.一般社団法人日本機械学会, 2015年05月17日, ロボティクス・メカトロニクス講演会講演概要集, 2015, "2A1 - C01(1)"-"2A1-C01(3)", 日本語

- 日本学術振興会, 科学研究費助成事業 基盤研究(B), 基盤研究(B), 2020年 - 2022年, 研究代表者消化器がん克服のためのロボット軟性鏡診断・治療エコシステム軟性内視鏡手術プラットフォームの主にソフトウェアの構築を行った。軟性内視鏡は2か所で屈曲するマルチベンドタイプであり、6自由度を持つ。操作インターフェースは片手で6自由度あるため、フットスイッチを踏んでいる間、右の操縦桿でカメラを操作することとした。覗き込み動作が直観的な操作できることを確認した。フットスイッチを踏んでいない間は2本の処置具(グラスパーと電メス)を操作する。処置具は4自由度のため、各関節にモータが内蔵されている操作インターフェースのうち2自由度を制御で拘束した。カメラと処置具の操作の切り替え時には、それぞれの切り替え前のポジションを記憶しておき、戻るときに操作インターフェースの関節モータを用いて元のポジションに誘導する。これらにより、操縦桿から手を離さないで内視鏡1本と処置具2本が操作可能なプラットフォームが実現した。大腸を自走する内視鏡ロボットについては、新たにカメラを搭載できるようにした。競争的資金

- 日本学術振興会, 科学研究費助成事業, 基盤研究(C), 2015年04月01日 - 2018年03月31日バイオマテリアルを用いたレーザー透過溶着法による革新的生体組織接合技術の研究開発動脈などの組織にレーザー照射することにより、組織接合が可能なことが近年明らかにされてきたが、そのメカニズムと至適条件および器具は不明のままであった。コラーゲン接合のメカニズムは可逆性の加熱(47-52℃)によって密に絡み合っているコラーゲン繊維が弛緩、膨化する現象が見られる。お互いに弛緩、膨化したコラーゲン組織に一定の圧を加えることによって、コラーゲン繊維同志の嵌合(嵌め合い)が起こって組織が接合されることを発見し、強固な嵌合を完成させるための至適条件は加熱温度、加圧力、接触面積そして、嵌合状態での再冷却であることを実証した。
