Title: Design and Control of Wireless Laparoscopic Surgical Systems, and
Research Profile of Mechanical, Aerospace and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville
This talk will discuss the development of a novel wireless surgical camera (sCam) system to enhance and improve surgical procedures for single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) and natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (NOTES). sCam can be inserted into a body cavity via the incision for the operation instrument or natural orifice, which will eliminate the need for dedicated incisions for laparoscopic cameras and the share use of an incision for surgical instruments. This talk will discuss the challenges in locomotion mechanisms for the motion control of the camera system inside the body cavity, which include anchoring and manipulating (translational and rotational motion) the camera system. The talk will discuss a semi-spherical driving unit, which is referred to as a rotor, driven externally by a specially designed magnetic stator. The rotor consisting of magnets placed in the dome such that it can be magnetically coupled to the internal body wall by a stator placed ex vivo on or close to the dermal surface. The ex vivo magnets/coils can generate a 3D rotational magnetic field, thereby generating to rotate the in vivo rotor dome in all three dimensions. The stator can also serve as an anchoring system that keeps the camera steady during an operation.
Jindong Tan received the Ph.D degree from Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI, in 2002, in Electrical and Computer Engineering. He is currently a professor and the associate department head in the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace, and Biomedical Engineering, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, USA. He has been an assistant/associate professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Michigan Technological University during 2002-2012. His research interests include surgical robots, body sensor networks, biomedical signal processing, mobile robotics and mobile sensing. Dr. Tan has over 100 archival journal publications and efereed conference proceedings in these research areas. His research is funded by NSF, DoD, and ORNL. The University of Tennessee, founded in 1794, Knoxville is a public sun-grant and land-grant university headquartered at Knoxville, Tennessee, United States. UTK is the flagship institution of the statewide University of Tennessee system with nine undergraduate colleges and eleven graduate colleges and hosts almost 28,000 students from all 50 states and more than 100 foreign countries. UTK's ties to nearby Oak Ridge National Laboratory allow for considerable research opportunities for faculty and students.
