The proposed research involves the development of MEMS based force-torque sensors, for use in robotic surgery for in-bore magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. In-bore surgical robotics are being investigated by clinicians due to the benefits of having intra-operative MRI and surgical actions to follow each other closely. Difficulties exist, however, due to particular constraints of surgical procedures and imaging technologies. Examples include line-of sight issues, MR compatibility of tools, and loss of tactile information. Consequently, robotic technologies have not yet adopted sensorized tools. Development and integration of MR compatible force-torque sensors into robotic tools is required.

拟议的研究涉及基于MEMS的力-扭矩传感器的开发，用于机器人手术中的膛内磁共振（MR）成像。 由于术中MRI和手术动作密切相关的益处，临床医生正在研究孔内手术机器人。 然而，由于外科手术和成像技术的特殊限制，存在困难。 示例包括视线问题、工具的MR兼容性和触觉信息丢失。 因此，机器人技术尚未采用传感器化工具。 需要将MR兼容的力-扭矩传感器开发和集成到机器人工具中。
