A Novel Medical Robotic System for Laser-based Therapies
Port wine stain (PWS)birthmarks are congenital vascular malformations,which usually appear at birth and tend to become darker and thicker with ages growth.Vascular-targeted photodynamic therapy (PDT)is an effective approach in the treatment of PWS.However,due to the arbitrariness of manual operation and existing pole points of laser radiation,the PWS zone was always cured unevenly in clinics.So we developed a novel robotic system,which consists of passive arm and active wrist,to assist doctors in exerting PDT treatments.Passive joints are easy to interface with doctors,safe and convenience;active joints can automate the PDT,so that let doctors focus on clinical judgements and the treatments rather than heave manual work.In this paper,the mechanism of PWS and PDT were described in brief;the robotic system including the detailed robot mechanical design and kinematic analysis is discussed based on the requirements of PDT. Finally,the robot feasibility was validated by experimental results.
