Robotic arm control trough internet lan for patient operation Abstract

Patients face problems in terms of facilities meted out to them as well as availability of trained doctors. By using a robotic arm, all these problems can be eliminated and doctors from anywhere can perform the operation. Robots are flexible in nature and can perform a wide array of operations that cant be realized solely by a doctor. Hard automation systems have led to a broadbased interest in the use of robots capable of performing variety of manufacturing functions in the more flexible working environment and at lower production costs.The word robot originated from the Czech word ROBOTA meaning, work.A robot is a re-programmable multi-functional manipulator designed to move materials.

Introduction
In this project an application will transmit the controlling data to a specific computer by sending corresponding IP address. The Ethernet adapter configured with the specific IP address will receive the commands and send the information to micro controller via serial port. This micro controller will control the robotic arm and sends appropriate signals to geared motor. There is a micro controller in the robotic arm performing motor control operations. To view the patients status an RF camera is used and this is used to transmit it to the PC for the doctor to supervise. This project is mainly used to cut patients skin by high speed blades.

Components used
Power supply 5v DC - lm 7805 Video camera - RF Microcontroller - 89s52atmel Crystal - 11.0592mhz MAX232 - serial comm. Buzzer - freq-1 to 18KHZ DC Motors Ethernet Adapter LCD - 2x16 characters

Working principle
The front end application will send the controlling data to the particular computer by sending corresponding IP address After sending the commands the Ethernet adapter which is already configured with that particular IP address; will receive the data

And the Ethernet adapter will send the received data to microcontroller through serial port. After receiving the command the microcontroller will control the robotic arm by sending appropriate signals to geared motor. The microcontroller part which is connected in robot side, is doing all the operations of motor control. The Ethernet card is a medium, which is used to convert LAN signal in to RS232 form. According to the command received the microcontroller will control the robotic arm step movements. We use the RF cameras to view the patient status and transmit it to the PC. In this project we are using the arm only to cut the skin of the patient using the high-speed blades.
Conclusion: The use of computer-aided robots offers exact motion and path so as to reduce the side-effects of surgical meditation. Use of robots offer higher insight into the anatomy of patients to perform smaller incisions. In case of emergencies, by using a robotic arm a persons life could be saved.
