로봇기술의 발달로 인하여 로봇의 활용 분야는 점차 확대되고 있으며 의료 및 재활분야에도 이용되는 추세이다. 의료분야에 이용되는 메디칼 로봇은 최소 절개 수술에 적용하는 경우 많은 이점을 얻을 수 있다는 점과 전문의사가 현장에 있기 힘든 오지나 낙도 또는 전쟁터 같은 곳에서도 원격 수술이 가능하다는 장점으로 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 원격 수술은 수술 계획, 로봇에게 환자 등록, 원격 수술 시행의 세가지 과정을 거치게 된다. 본 논문에서는 원격 수술을 위한 위 과정의 연구 동향을 기술하고 현재 본 실험실에서 수행하고 있는 연구 내용을 다룬다. 원격 수술을 위한 의료시스템을 구축하기 위해 팬-틸터 구동부를 가지 스테레어 시각 시스템을 제작하고 여기서 얻어지는 정보를 HMD에 투시하여 현장감을 느끼게 만드는 것과 수술대에서 환자를 수술하는 듯한 느낌을 제공할 수 있는 기술인 매스터 조작기와 슬레이브 조작기 사이의 힘 피드백 구현에 대해 다룬다.

Since surgery is usually a difficult task because of physiological tremor, eye strain, and tremor, contagious and radioactive hazard, it is necessary to develop micro-surgery telerobotic system using improved tools suitable for their specific tasks. Nowadays the growth of interest on microsurgery and medical applications of robotics has been so rapid. But the medical robots are only practical applications of the industrial robots. This paper identifies five general areas of advanced microsurgery based on the current technological background and expertise, and analyzes the motion, tool and accuracy with respect to microsurgery task, and proposed the criteria to evaluate micro-surgical manipulator. The analysis of microusrgery can be heplful to clarify some basic concept and design of micro-surgical manipulators. With these data we will alos propose an efficient in-parallel-platform manipulator having special kinematic structrue structure suitable for microsurgery.

이 글에서는 원격제어 시스템의 역사, 적용에서 이론까지 간략하게 다루어 보았다. 과학기술이 발달하고 생활수준이 향상됨에 따라 인간은 소위 3D 직종을 기피하려는 경향을 갖게 되었다. 또한 작업환경의 변화가 심하고 위험한 심해저나 원자력 발전소, 우주공간에서의 작업 등은 인간이 맡게 되면 엄청난 인건비가 소요되고, 작업자의 안전을 보장할 수가 없게 된다. 로봇을 이용하여 이러한 작업들을 대치하게 될 경우 무엇보다도 작업자를 보호할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 그러나 순간적인 판단과 작업을 반복하거나 돌발적인 사고에 대처하는 능력이 로봇에게는 절대적으로 부족하기 때문에, 반대급부적으로 원격 제어 시스템의 가치가 점점 높아지고 있다. 원격 제어 시스템은 우주공간, 방사능 지역 등에서의 작업시 인간을 보호하고, 작업의 효율성 증대에 기여할 뿐만 아니라, 최근에 활발히 연구가 진행되고 있는 초정밀 로봇을 이용한 원격 수술(telesurgery)이나 사람이 들 수 없는 무게를 작업자의 의도대로 다룰 수 있게 하는 등 인간의 한계를 극복하는 데도 큰 몫을 담당할 것으로 기대되기 때문에 계속적인 연구를 필요로 하고 있다.

Medical robotics and computer aided surgery in general, and robotic telesurgery in particular, are promising applications of robotics. In this paper, we shows a novel single-master (PHANTOM based single-master multi-slave telerobotic system) multi-slave system using two parallel mechanism micromanipulators as a slave device. After a general introduction to the systems structure and configuration of telerobotic system, a manipulation control strategy to build the system that human and both manipulators perform the cooperative manipulation, is introduced, followed by its kinematic analysis, mapping method, and experimental results.

This paper reports on a realtime OS based master-slave configuration robot control system for laparoscopic surgery robot which enables telesurgery and overcomes shortcomings with conventional laparoscopic surgery. Surgery robot system requires control system that can process large volume information such as medical image data and video signal from endoscope in real-time manner, as well as precisely control the robot with high reliability. To meet the complex requirements, the use of high-level real-time OS (Operating System) in surgery robot controller is a must, which is as common as in many of modem robot controllers that adopt real-time OS as a base system software on which specific functional modules are implemened for more reliable and stable system. The control system consists of joint controllers, host controllers, and user interface units. The robot features a compact slave robot with 5 DOF (Degree-Of-Freedom) expanding the workspace of each tool and increasing the number of tools operating simultaneously. Each master, slave and Gill (Graphical User Interface) host runs a dedicated RTOS (Real-time OS), RTLinux-Pro (FSMLabs Inc., U.S.A.) on which functional modules such as motion control, communication, video signal integration and etc, are implemented, and all the hosts are in a gigabit Ethernet network for inter-host communication. Each master and slave controller set has a dedicated CAN (Controller Area Network) channel for control and monitoring signal communication with the joint controllers. Total 4 pairs of the master/slave manipulators as current are controlled by one host controller. The system showed satisfactory performance in both position control precision and master-slave motion synchronization in both bench test and animal experiment, and is now under further development for better safety and control fidelity for clinically applicable prototype.

This paper reports on a Realtime OS based motor control system for laparoscopic surgery robot which enables telesurgery and overcomes shortcomings with conventional laparoscopic surgery. The system has a conventional master-slave robot configuration and the control system consists of joint controllers, host controllers, and power units. The robot features (1) a compact slave robot with 5 DOF (Degree Of Freedom) expanding the workspace of each tool and increasing the number of tools operating simultaneously, and (2) direct 1:1 correspondence in the joint of master and slave robot that simplifies control algorithm and enhances reliability. Each master, slave and GUI (Graphical User Interface) host has a dedicated RTOS (RealTime OS), RTLinux-Pro (FSMLabs Inc., U.S.A.) Each master and slave controller set pair has a dedicated CAN (Controller Area Network) channel for control and monitoring signal communication. Total 4 pairs of the master/slave manipulators as current are monitored by one host controller for operation monitoring and higher level motion control. The system showed acceptable performance in both position control precision and master-slave motion synchronization and is now under further development for better safety and control fidelity for clinically applicable prototype.

Healthcare organizations are overwhelmingly embracing smart value-based care strategies, which focuses on providing superior treatment at a significantly lower cost and quality of service (QoS). For these purposes, fifth generation (5G) of mobile service provides an innumerable improvement that clearly outperforms previous generations e.g., 3G and 4G. However, as with most advancements, 5G is projected to introduce new challenges, prompting the community to think about what comes next. This research was conducted to examine the most recent smart 5G technology applications and the solutions they provide to the healthcare industry. Finally, the paper discusses how the upcoming 6G technology has the potential to transform the future of healthcare sector even beyond the current 5G systems.

Recently, there is an increasing demand for ultra-low-latency (ULL) services such as factory automation, autonomous driving, and telesurgery that must meet an end-to-end latency of less than 10 ms. Fifth-generation (5G) New Radio guarantees 0.5 ms one-way latency, so the feasibility of ULL services is higher than in previous mobile communications. However, this feasibility ensures performance at the radio access network level and requires an innovative 5G network architecture for end-to-end ULL across the entire 5G system. Hence, we survey in detailed two the 3rd Generation Partnership Party (3GPP) standardization activities to ensure low latency at network level. 3GPP standardizes mobile edge computing (MEC), a low-latency solution at the edge network, in Release 15/16 and is standardizing time-sensitive communication in Release 16/17 for interworking 5G systems and IEEE 802.1 time-sensitive networking (TSN), a next-generation industry technology for ensuring low/deterministic latency. We developed a 5G system based on 3GPP Release 15 to support MEC with a potential sub-10 ms end-to-end latency in the edge network. In the near future, to provide ULL services in the external network of a 5G system, we suggest a 5G-IEEE TSN interworking system based on 3GPP Release 16/17 that meets an end-to-end latency of 2 ms.
