A Design Concept of an Orthopedic Bone Drilling Mechatronics System

Abstract

Bone drilling manipulationstake placevery ofteninthe orthopedic surgery. The successful execution of bone drilling requires a high level of dexterity and experience. The patient’s recovering depends on the operation performance. This paper presents a design concept of a bone drilling hand-hold mechatronic system. It is based on the modified structure of the previous our robot ODRO. It isable to detect the bone breakthrough and the stops. It is intended to perform drilling a preliminary set depth. Resistantforce is measured and experimental results are shown.
