Abstract:In the magnetic resonance imaging environment, it is difficult for breast biopsy robot to obtain highquality scanned images and precise biopsy needle interventions due to material and drive compatibility. Therefore, a double tendonsheath flexible system with lebus grooves used on the robots, that could meet the requirements of nuclear magnetic compatibility, longdistance and largestroke transmission is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the friction analysis of the single joint is implemented for the double tendonsheath remote transmission system with lebus grooves. A bidirectional coupling transmission model is formulated based on the analysis of nonlinear coupling characteristics of the singlejoint double tendonsheath transmission. The experimental platform of singlejoint bidirectional coupling transmission is established, and the analysis and compensation experiments of singlejoint bidirectional coupling transmission are carried out. Secondly, a multijoint breast biopsy robot experimental platform with double tendonsheath transmission is built. In addition, the analysis of bidirectional coupled motion error and compensation experiment are performed on the multijoint breast biopsy robot with double tendonsheath transmission. After compensation, the average error in the X, Y, and Z directions of the needle tip entering the tissue are 139, 189, and 160 mm, respectively. Experimental results verify that the multijoint breast biopsy robot with double tendon sheath transmission can meet the precision requirements of breast biopsy under nuclear magnetic environment.
