Graphical Simulation System for Functional Analysis of a Parallel Robot for Transperineal Prostate Biopsy

Abstract:

The paper presents the functional analysis of a parallel robotic system used for transperineal prostate biopsy. A simulation system to study the robot functional analysis was developed using the integrated MATLAB software. Given the fact that the robotic system is used in a medical environment, it has to meet certain safety requirements indicated by the medical doctors. In order to fulfill these needs an appeal to complex simulation software has to be made to help choosing the best kinematic solution for the robotic system. The designed simulation software offers a correlation between the structure of the robot and the surrounding medical environment, pointing out its workspace and possible configurations that might harm the human patient during the biopsy.
