contents Tendon-sheath mechanisms (TSMs) are widely used in minimally invasive surgical (MIS) applications, but their inherent hysteresis-caused by friction, backlash, and tendon elongation-leads to significant tracking errors. Conventional modeling and compensation methods struggle with these nonlinearities and require extensive parameter tuning. To address this, we propose a vibration-assisted hysteresis compensation approach, where controlled vibrational motion is applied along the tendon's movement direction to mitigate friction and reduce dead zones. Experimental results demonstrate that the exerted vibration consistently reduces hysteresis across all tested frequencies, decreasing RMSE by up to 23.41% (from 2.2345 mm to 1.7113 mm) and improving correlation, leading to more accurate trajectory tracking. When combined with a Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN)-based compensation model, vibration further enhances performance, achieving an 85.2% reduction in MAE (from 1.334 mm to 0.1969 mm). Without vibration, the TCN-based approach still reduces MAE by 72.3% (from 1.334 mm to 0.370 mm) under the same parameter settings. These findings confirm that vibration effectively mitigates hysteresis, improving trajectory accuracy and enabling more efficient compensation models with fewer trainable parameters. This approach provides a scalable and practical solution for TSM-based robotic applications, particularly in MIS.
