“…In order to propose a modular robotic articulating laparoscopic system that will adopt robotic surgery forceps and allow surgeons to use it comfortably as classical laparoscopic tools, this study firstly focuses on the ergonomic structural design of the system handling that will include separate modules as an actuation box to house actuators, forceps attachment slot, transmission couplings, controller joysticks/sensors, and an ergonomic handle for them to be installed. In light of this, design optimisation was carried out in a simulation environment by considering the previous study 16 . The multi‐objective design optimisation in terms of reducing overall weight, improved ergonomics, and usability of physical human interface was carried out.…”
