Abstract

In this paper, we developed a force sensors-based catheter operating system. Firstly, we developed a highly precise remote control system by using a master-slave system. And in order to insure the safety of the whole system, we designed a micro force sensor as the base part in our research. Then we expatiate on the design concept of the system and control of the system. Also we carried out the operating simulation experiments "in vitro" and dealt with the operating errors. The experimental results indicated the proposed force sensors-based catheter operating system works properly, it can be controlled by tele-operation, and it can effectively improve the operability in to aneurysm with force feedback for intravascular neurosurgery.
