Abstract

In this paper the author proposed a new kind of catheter operating system. The system is with the structure of master and slave. For master side a controller with force feedback is designed. And For slave side a catheter operating robot is designed. Also force sensors are installed on the catheter to get the force information of the front-end of the catheter. With the system the intracavity intervention surgery can be imitated. So the system can be used for unskilled surgeons training.
