Precise patient positioning is fundamental to successful removal of malignanttumors during treatment of head and neck cancers. Errors in patient positioninghave been known to damage critical organs and cause complications. To betteraddress issues of patient positioning and motion, we introduce a 3-DOFneuro-adaptive soft-robot, called Soft-NeuroAdapt to correct deviations along 3axes. The robot consists of inflatable air bladders that adaptively controlhead deviations from target while ensuring patient safety and comfort. Theadaptive-neuro controller combines a state feedback component, a feedforwardregulator, and a neural network that ensures correct adaptation. States aremeasured by a 3D vision system. We validate Soft-NeuroAdapt on a 3D printedhead-and-neck dummy, and demonstrate that the controller provides adaptiveactuation that compensates for intrafractional deviations in patientpositioning.
