A few years ago it became possible to carry out complicated surgical procedures in humans with the required precision by combining medical imaging (MRI, CT) with minimally invasive surgery. The confined space within these imaging systems and the resulting inaccuracies associated with the manual use of instruments increasingly make necessary the help of aids ranging from positioning systems to robotic devices, which themselves must be position controlled. A position sensor has been developed for a medical robotic system allowing the image-controlled insertion of injection needles and the simultaneous administration of different drugs. The 3D position coordinates are determined by a noncontact optical principle, which also enables simultaneous determination of all 6 basic degrees of freedom of the robotic system (3 translational, 3 rotational). On the basis of an area image sensor and the measurement of a geometrically defined structure in the path of the rays between sensor and light source, the position coordinates are calculated almost real time. Special emphasis was placed on designing the sensor system to cover a sufficiently large workspace to enable it to cover the entire intervention area. The sensor described herein determines the position coordinates in a volume of 10 x 10 x 10 cm at a resolution of up to 1 mm for translations and 1 degree for rotations.
