description | AbstractDuring the last decade, many ophthalmic therapeutic drugs have been clinically approved, and intraocular injection has been a common surgical intervention. Injecting drugs directly into the subretinal space is crucial to treat retinal complications effectively. Here, we report a handheld microinjector with two fiber-optic distance sensors and time-delay control (TDC) to mitigate nonlinear disturbances during the injection task. The conventional method exhibited a cosine error of approximately 77 μm at an angle of 45°, whereas our proposed needle reduced measurement errors to ∼6 μm. Also, TDC-based position regulation is designed to adaptively apply motor inputs by estimating disturbances during the handheld task and achieving fast system responses with minor control errors. Phantom studies show a maximum reduction of 26.5% in root-mean-square error (RMSE) compared to the existing approach. Moreover, ex-vivo experiments demonstrated superior and robust injection performance, resulting in an injection RMSE of 10.3 μm. |
