DESIGN AND Development OF AN AUTOMATIC SOFT ROBOTIC PARALLEL MANIPULATOR to Aid in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
SRamanathan, NMani, P Harikrishnan · 2025
Quick and effective steps are essential to save patients during life-saving surgery. Literature evaluations show hospitals using robotic chest compression manipulators to improve resuscitation. Emergency cardiac arrest patients are resuscitated via chest compressions. Just squeezing the chest is enough for CPR. Even qualified professionals may struggle to conduct chest compressions at the CPR recommended depth and rate. Automatic chest compressions did not outperform manual compressions in most studies and meta-analyses. The combination of robotics and automation improves patient survival. Gentle actuators and sensors can compression and discusses their potential drawbacks. The device will be handled for portability. By observing a human mannequin, the pressure will be adjusted. The goal is to perform as many high-quality compressions per minute up to 50 mm depth. Additional vibrational testing of air muscles gives better device balancing. The device will be suitable for any venue, not just hospitals. The pressure should be gentle, therefore we'll evaluate it. We will conduct experiments comparing mannequin and human arm readings compress the body. This study analyses soft sensing-actuation systems for interface to achieve the desired result. A solenoid valve regulates airflow while a microprocessor controls compression. Three pneumatically soft-actuated air muscle work together to compress 80-120 times per minute at 260 newton. The solenoid coil's deactivation duration is precisely controlled to 50 milliseconds to create compression depth equivalent to one-third of the mannequin's chest breadth. Research is needed to assure structural strength and test Tab software or a biological counterpart for safety features.
