| More Details: | Abstract This study introduces an innovative master-slave cardiac ablation catheter robot system that employs magnetorheological fluids. The system incorporates magnetorheological fluid to enable collision detection through haptic feedback, thereby enhancing the operator’s situational awareness. A modular clamping and propulsion mechanism has been engineered for the ablation catheter, facilitating omnidirectional operation and force feedback within the cardiac cavity. To evaluate the proposed system, an in vitro experiment was performed. Results from the experiment indicate that the system demonstrates high motion transmission accuracy. Furthermore, the system effectively alerts operators to potential collisions, enabling swift catheter position adjustments, minimizing the risk of vascular perforation, and ultimately enhancing the overall safety and efficiency of the procedure. |
