Title: Design and Evaluation of Augmented Reality-Enhanced Robotics System for Epidural Interventions

• Ref: https://doi.org/10.3390/s24247959
• Summary: An epidural injection is a medical procedure that delivers therapeutics directly near the spinal cord for pain management. Due to the complexity of the spinal cord, imprecise needle insertion can cause irreversible damage. This paper explores integrating a telerobotic system and AR assistance. Magnetic trackers are used for real-time 3D model projection onto the patient’s body to improve needle insertion accuracy. A new gripper was designed specifically for epidural needle insertion (ENI).

인사이트: 높은 정확성이 요구되는 ENI (Epdural Needle Insertion)를 AR 기술과 로봇을 활용하여 정확성을 높이는 연구입니다. Touch X 등의 햅틱을 이용한 navigation 연구도 가능할 것 같습니다.
