Sumario: | Pedicle screw insertion with robot assistance dramatically improves surgical accuracy and safety when compared with manual implantation. In developing such a system, hand–eye calibration is an essential component that aims to determine the transformation between a position tracking and robot-arm systems. In this paper, we propose an effective hand–eye calibration method, namely registration-based hand–eye calibration (RHC), which estimates the calibration transformation via point set registration without the need to solve the [Formula: see text] equation. Our hand–eye calibration method consists of tool-tip pivot calibrations in two-coordinate systems, in addition to paired-point matching, where the point pairs are generated via the steady movement of the robot arm in space. After calibration, our system allows for robot-assisted, image-guided pedicle screw insertion. Comprehensive experiments are conducted to verify the efficacy of the proposed hand–eye calibration method. A mean distance deviation of 0.70 mm and a mean angular deviation of 0.68° are achieved by our system when the proposed hand–eye calibration method is used. Further experiments on drilling trajectories are conducted on plastic vertebrae as well as pig vertebrae. A mean distance deviation of 1.01 mm and a mean angular deviation of 1.11° are observed when the drilled trajectories are compared with the planned trajectories on the pig vertebrae. |
