      Design of an Automated Multi-Acupoint Moxibustion Robot

      • 摘要: 针对现有艾灸机器人的穴位识别依赖手动引导、穴位识别与灸疗过程分离、多点穴位艾灸操作复杂等问题,该文设计了一种基于多点穴位识别与自动化艾灸的艾灸机器人。艾灸机器人由基座、六轴机械臂、末端艾灸盒、RGBD相机和控制系统组成。控制系统采用图像测量和图像识别算法,精准获取由治疗师标注的穴位坐标位置,再利用手眼标定矩阵将穴位坐标转换至机械臂基坐标,实现穴位标记的自动识别和机械臂的运动控制。同时,系统还支持多点穴位自动路径规划、艾灸时长,温度的个性化设置和对悬停灸、回旋灸、雀啄灸等艾灸手法的复现;系统对多个穴位标记的识别定位误差≤5 mm。该研究有效解决了艾灸机器人多点穴位标记自动识别、多种灸法模拟等问题,具有广阔的市场和应用前景。

         

        Abstract: To address the issues of existing moxibustion robots relying on manual guidance for acupoint recognition, the separation of acupoint identification and moxibustion therapy, and the complexity of multi-point acupoint operations, this paper designs an automated moxibustion robot based on multi-point acupoint recognition. The robot consists of a base, a six-axis robotic arm, an end-effector moxibustion box, an RGB-D camera, and a control system. The control system employs image measurement and recognition algorithms to accurately acquire the coordinates of acupoints marked by therapists. These coordinates are then transformed into the robotic arm's base frame using a hand-eye calibration matrix, enabling automatic acupoint recognition and motion control of the robotic arm. Additionally, the system supports automated path planning for multi-point acupoints, personalized settings for moxibustion duration and temperature, and the simulation of various moxibustion techniques, including suspended moxibustion, circular moxibustion, and sparrow-pecking moxibustion. The system achieves a positioning error of ≤5 mm for multiple acupoint markers. This study effectively resolves the challenges of automatic multi-point acupoint recognition and the simulation of diverse moxibustion techniques, demonstrating broad market potential and application prospects.
