Hands-Free mechatronic Movements

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This paper explores hands-free mechatronic movement in medical imaging devices, emphasizing the transition from dead-man grip (DMG) control to autonomous operation. Central to this development is a robust safety architecture with redundant and diverse sensors, which enables the implementation of advanced features. This provides a level of safety comparable to manual scanning, so that psychological requirements for user trust are also met. Crucially, the system design supports a fallback to DMG-operation, ensuring both flexibility and user acceptance as autonomy increases.
