When using commercialized robot assisted laparoscopic, surgeon has met some problems to depend only on image of the surgical field. To solve it, there were various researches. The previous study showed that it is possible to estimate the operation force on the commercialized instrument inside patient without sensors. To apply the estimated force to a haptic master console for the laparoscopy surgical robot system, the light haptic master console should be designed. This paper suggests the design of lighter master console handle to reduce a weight of the console whose structure can match with the joint and DOF of an instrument. A cable-conduit mechanism is designed to make light structure to perform a delicate manipulation. The cable-conduit mechanism removes the weight and inertia of link caused by haptic actuator and encoder which is separated from handle link of a manipulator.

The goal of this paper is to develop a self localization of mobile robot using UHF RFID landmark. We present landmark, a location sensing archetype system that uses UHF Radio Frequency Identification (UHF RFID) technology for locating objects inside buildings. The major advantage of landmark is that it improves the overall accuracy of locating objects by utilizing the concept of reference tags. Based on experimental analysis, we demonstrate that passive UHF RFID is a viable and cost-effective candidate for indoor location sensing. We conduct a series of experiments to evaluate performance of the positioning of the landmark System. In the standard setup, we place RF Reader which has two antennas and 25 tags in our lab. This research uses the assumption-based coordinates (ABC) algorithm[3] for determining the localization of robot. Also, we show how Radio Frequency Identification (UHF RFID) can be used in robot-assisted indoor navigation for the visually impaired. The experiments illustrate that passive UHF RFID tags can act as reliable landmark that trigger local navigation behaviors to achieve global navigation objectives.

In this paper, we propose and examine the feasibility of the robot-assisted behavioral intervention system so as to strengthen positive response of the children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) for learning social skills. Based on well-known behavioral treatment protocols, the robot offers therapeutic training elements of eye contact and emotion reading respectively in child-robot interaction, and it subsequently accomplishes pre-allocated meaningful acts by estimating the level of children's reactivity from reliable recognition modules, as a coping strategy. Furthermore, for the purpose of labor saving and attracting children's interest, we implemented the robotic stimulation configuration with semi-autonomous actions capable of inducing intimacy and tension to children in instructional trials. From these configurations, by evaluating the ability of recognizing human activity as well as by showing improved reactivity for social training, we verified that the proposed system has some positive effects on social development, targeted for preschoolers who have a high functioning level.

중증 근무력증의 치료법으로서 흉선절제술은 효과가 입증된 표준 치료법 중 하나로 받아들여지고 있다. 흉선절제 수술법은 종래에 시행되던 흉골절개나 혹은 다른 개흉 수술법에 반해 최근 최소 침습 수술법이 시도되고 있다. 증례는 28세 남자로, 양손의 위약감 및 피로감을 호소하여 검사 결과 흉선 과형성을 동반한 중증 근무력증으로 진단하였고, da Vinci 로봇을 이용하여 흉선절제술을 시행하였다. 수술은 좌우 흉강을 통해 양측으로 접근하여, 우측에서 흉선의 2/3를 절제하고 좌측에서 나머지를 절제하였으며, 소요시간은 각각 1시간, 30분이었다. 환자는 술후 8일째 합병증 없이 퇴원하였다. 최소 침습 흉선절제술로서 da Vinci 로봇을 이용한 수술법이 국외에서 시도되고 있지만 국내에는 아직 보고된 바가 없어, 본원에서 수행한 성공적인 경험을 보고하는 바이다.

본 연구의 목적은 가상현실과 로봇보조재활치료를 이용하여 뇌졸중 후 푸셔 증후군에 대한 치료적인 효과를 조사하고자 하기 위함이다. 총 10명의 뇌졸중 후 푸셔 증후군을 보이는 환자가 모집되었다. 환자는 각각 5 명씩 로봇보조재활치료와 대조군으로 배정되었다. 실험군은 로봇보조재활치료와 일반적인 재활치료를 함께 받았으며, 대조군은 하루 2회 일반적인 재활치료를 받았다. 중재 시간은 30분간 진행되었으며, 주 5회, 4주간 시행하였다. 치료 전후 변화는 Scale for contraversive pushing (SCP), Berg balance scale (BBS), falling index (FI), Timed up and go test (TUG)을 이용하여 측정하였다. 4 주간의 중재 치료 후 로봇보조재활치료 군에서 SCP (p=0.046), BBS (p=0.046), FI (p=0.038), TUG (p=0.038)은 대조군에 비하여 유의하게 향상되었다. 또한 SCP와 BBS (p=0.024), FI (p=0.039), TUG (p=0.030)는 유의한 상관관계가 관찰되었다. 결과적으로 가상현실을 이용한 로봇보조재활치료는 일반적인 재활치료에 비하여 뇌졸중 후 푸셔 증후군을 회복하는데 더 도움이 되었으며, 푸셔 증후군의 회복은 균형과 보행기능의 향상과 관련이 있었다.

Due to an increased sitting time in work, lumbar disc disease is one of the most frequent diseases in modern days, and this occasionally requires surgery for treatment. Endoscopic disc surgery, one of the common disc surgeries, requires a process of inserting a guide needle to the target disc for which the insertion path is manually planned by drawing lines on the patient's skin while monitoring the fluoroscopic view of the lumbar. Such procedure inevitably exposes both surgeon and patient to the fluoroscopy radiation emitted from the c-arm for a long time. To reduce the radiation exposure time, this study proposes a computer assisted method of calculating the 3D guide needle path by using 2D c-arm images of the disc in 3 different angles. Additionally, a method of the guide robot control based on the 3D needle path was developed by implementing the Hand-eye Calibration method to calculate the transformation matrix between the c-arm and robot base coordinate systems. The proposed system was then tested for its accuracy.
