Development of a Robot Assisted Intubation System and Parameter Optimization

A robot assisted intubation system based on remote teleoperation is developed. The architecture and the system configuration are introduced. It is composed of master manipulator in hospital and slave manipulator in first aid site. When the ambulance equipped with this medical device arrived at the disaster site, doctors with specialized skills can stay in hospital and control the robot to carry out the intubation by remote teleoperation method. The proposed system solves the lack of doctor with specialized skills in the rescue work. To improve the effectiveness of the system and guarantee the safety of patients and medical staff at the same time, we analyze the articulation of the robotics arm, and optimized the parameters.
