Abstract

PURPOSE: Teleoperated Interventional Robotic systems (TIRs) are developed to reduce radiation exposure and physical stress of the physicians and enhance device manipulation accuracy and stability. Nevertheless, TIRs are not widely adopted, partly due to the lack of intuitive control interfaces. Current TIR interfaces like joysticks, keyboards, and touchscreens differ significantly from traditional manual techniques, resulting in a shallow, longer learning curve. To this end, this research introduces a novel control mechanism for intuitive operation and seamless adoption of TIRs.
