  • Development of microsurgical forceps equipped with haptic technology for in situ differentiation of brain tumors during microsurgery

    Ezaki T., Kishima K., Shibao S., Matsunaga T., Pareira E.S., Kitamura Y., Nakayama Y., Tsuda N., Takahara K., Iwama T., Sampetrean O., Toda M., Ohnishi K., Shimono T., Sasaki H.

    Scientific Reports 14 ( 1 )  2024.12

    　View Summary

    The stiffness of human cancers may be correlated with their pathology, and can be used as a biomarker for diagnosis, malignancy prediction, molecular expression, and postoperative complications. Neurosurgeons perform tumor resection based on tactile sensations. However, it takes years of surgical experience to appropriately distinguish brain tumors from surrounding parenchymal tissue. Haptics is a technology related to the touch sensation. Haptic technology can amplify, transmit, record, and reproduce real sensations, and the physical properties (e.g., stiffness) of an object can be quantified. In the present study, glioblastoma (SF126-firefly luciferase-mCherry [FmC], U87-FmC, U251-FmC) and malignant meningioma (IOMM-Lee-FmC, HKBMM-FmC) cell lines were transplanted into nude mice, and the stiffness of tumors and normal brain tissues were measured using our newly developed surgical forceps equipped with haptic technology. We found that all five brain tumor tissues were stiffer than normal brain tissue (p < 0.001), and that brain tumor pathology (three types of glioblastomas, two types of malignant meningioma) was significantly stiffer than normal brain tissue (p < 0.001 for all). Our findings suggest that tissue stiffness may be a useful marker to distinguish brain tumors from surrounding parenchymal tissue during microsurgery, and that haptic forceps may help neurosurgeons to sense minute changes in tissue stiffness.

  • Analysis of Grinding Motion using Force/Tactile Sensation

    Kitamura T., Hachimine T., Matsubara T., Saito Y., Asai H., Ohnishi K.

    IEEE International Symposium on Industrial Electronics  2024

    ISSN  21635137

    　View Summary

    Understanding human movements is essential for teaching skills to novices and enabling robots to learn. Traditional movement analysis often relies on visual data, but incorporating force/tactile information is vital for object interactions. The spring-mass-damper model, used to represent force/tactile data, assumes continuous contact and consistent material properties, which are limitations when analyzing grinding actions that frequently alternate between contact and non-contact. This study proposes analyzing grinding by quantifying force/tactile sensations as the ratio of the root mean square (RMS) values of force to speed, using absolute impedance to measure sensations irrespective of contact. Findings indicated that operators typically initiate a pressing motion several seconds after detecting contact, and their reactions to samples of varying hardness differ significantly. These observations suggest a detailed breakdown of human grinding skills is feasible, highlighting the potential of force/tactile information in enhancing skill transfer to beginners and robots.

  • Validation of a surgical drill with a haptic interface in spine surgery

    Scientific Reports (Scientific Reports)  13 ( 1 )  2023.12

    　View Summary

    Real haptics is a technology that reproduces the sense of force and touch by transmitting contact information with real objects by converting human movements and the feel of the objects into data. In recent years, real haptics technology has been installed in several surgical devices. A custom-made surgical drill was used to drill into the posterior lamina to verify the time required for penetration detection and the distance the drill advanced after penetration. A surgeon operated with the drill and the same aspects were measured and verified. All experiments were performed on female miniature pigs at 9 months of age with a mean body weight of 23.6 kg (range 9–10 months and 22.5–25.8 kg, n = 12). There were statistically significant differences in the average reaction time and the distance travelled after penetration between a handheld drill and the drill with the penetration detection function (p < 0.001). The reaction time to detect penetration and the distance after penetration were both significantly improved when compared with those of the handheld surgical drill without the penetration detection function, with mean differences of 0.049 ± 0.019 s [95% CI 0.012, 0.086 s] and 2.511 ± 0.537 mm [95% CI 1.505, 3.516 mm]. In this study, we successfully conducted a performance evaluation test of a custom-made haptic interface surgical drill. A prototype high-speed drill with a haptic interface accurately detected the penetration of the porcine posterior lamina.

  • Handheld Haptic Drill Simulator Using Visual Servoing System for Axial Force Presentation

    Matsunaga T., Takano S., Shimono T., Ohnishi K., Yagi M., Nakamura M.

    IEEE International Symposium on Industrial Electronics (IEEE International Symposium on Industrial Electronics)  2023-June 2023

    　View Summary

    Bone cutting tasks in spinal surgery require advanced skills to operate a handheld drill device. Since there is a risk to injure the spinal cord, both of support for surgeons and enhancement of surgeon's skills are important for safer surgery. Therefore, orthopedic surgical robots and devices have been studied and developed. In this study, a handheld haptic drill simulator using a visual servoing system is developed. A stereo camera is used to acquire the position and posture of a handheld drill device used as a haptic interface. Voxel representation is applied to virtual objects in environment simulation. Axial cutting force is fed back to the operator via the haptic interface, while virtual environment images are presented by a two-dimensional display. A small virtual object composed of voxels is cut by the drill device in the experiment. The feasibility of the handheld haptic drill simulator and the applicability of the handheld haptic drill devices are confirmed by the experimental results.

  • Verification of Anode Position and Generated Force Vector of EHD at Wire-cylinder Electrode

    Kitamura T., Katagiri H., Yashita S., Saito Y., Asai H., Ohnishi K., Nozaki T.

    IEEE International Symposium on Industrial Electronics (IEEE International Symposium on Industrial Electronics)  2023-June 2023

    　View Summary

    Electrohydrodynamics (EHD) is a thrust force produced when high voltage is applied to two electrodes, and actuators using EHD are expected to reduce equipment size and the effects of friction. However, the EHD effect of multiple anode electrodes has yet to be verified and should be considered when fabricating a multi-degree-of-freedom actuator using EHD. This paper examines the relationship between the applied voltage and the generated EHD to verify the effect of multiple anode electrodes on the EHD. Experiments were conducted using a device with two anode electrodes at right angles and another with two parallel electrodes. The results showed that the two anode electrodes placed at right angles interfered with each other, and the generated forces were not superposed. The direction of the generated force was approximately 45 deg. When the electrodes were placed horizontally, it was confirmed that the generated forces were superposed, indicating that the arrangement, not the number of anode electrodes, was the cause of the interference.
