Abstract

We newly report a tele-echo guided portable robot, FASTele-1 that assists early echo-diagnosis for wounded patients through long-distance. Especially, the robot will be used for primary diagnosis called FAST [Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma] looking for in-body spaces filled with blood caused by shock In addition, it can be attached onto the patient's body even by novices without expert knowledge who encounters at the scene. Four degrees of freedom involving pitching, rolling, translational movement and adjustment for sticking to the body surface are given to it. A mechanical spring allowing stable contacts with the patient body surface is adopted to reduce an actuator and a corset enabling easily fitting to various body forms is used as a base part. Evaluation experiments indicating FASTele-1 enables to send Sonography of in-body cavity enough for FAST diagnosis by medical specialists in the separated area confirm the effectiveness of the proposed design method.
