Obtaining haptic information and controlling the force
produced by actuators is one of the key issues in
performing a successful operation by surgical robots.
The behaviour of MRI-compatible actuators such as
ultrasonic motors (USM) in an MR environment needs to be
characterized. A one DoF MR-compatible robot was built
to measure the torque produced by a USM. The axial force
was measured with a piezo-resistive sensor through
transferring the torque using a screw. Inside and
outside MR-environment forces were compared through
statistical analysis. The measured force was almost
doubled while the motor was running during the MR scan.
