Abstract
PURPOSE: The remote medical diagnosis system (RMDS) is for providing medical diagnosis to the patients located in remote sites. To apply to RMDS and medical automation, many master-slave type ultrasound scanning robots are being developed and researched. One of the important research issue of the master-slave type ultrasound scanning robot is to determine the gains of the feedback force. Therefore, in this study, we suggest a gain determination method of feedback force for a master-slave type ultrasound thyroid scanning robot using a genetic algorithm.
