ASAP is a system for high-precision 3-D tracking of microsurgical instrument tip position for:
- Modeling of surgical hand motion
- Surgeon assessment and training
- Evaluating microsurgical instruments
- Evaluating accuracy enhancement systems, including robots and active hand-held instruments
- Input to microsurgery simulators
ASAP uses LED's to illuminate the workspace. It measures instrument tip position in 3-D using two 2-D position-sensitive detectors to sense the reflected light from a marker ball at the instrument tip. This enables measurements of tip position that are both highly accurate (1-10 microns) and 3-D, a combination that has been lacking in previous instruments.
