Abstract:

A robotic surgical system employing a treatment catheter () (e.g., a thermoablation catheter or a cyroablation catheter), and an articulated robot () including a plurality of linkages and one or more joints interconnecting the linkages for navigating the treatment catheter () within an anatomical region. The robotic surgical system further employs a robot controller () for controlling a navigation by the articulated robot () of the treatment catheter () along a intraoperative treatment path within the anatomical region relative to the anatomical structure derived from a planned treatment path within the anatomical region relative to the anatomical structure based on a registration between the articulated robot () and a preoperative image () illustrative of the planned treatment path within the anatomical region relative to the anatomical structure.

Abstract:

A control unit is provided for a surgical robot system, including a robot configured to operate an end-effector in a surgical site of a patient. The control unit includes a processor configured to transmit acquired live images of a patient, received from an image acquisition device, to a virtual reality (VR) device for display; to receive input data from the VR device, including tracking data from a VR tracking system of the VR device based on a user's response to the live images displayed on a viewer of the display unit of the VR device; to process the input data received from the VR device to determine a target in the patient; to determine a path for the end-effector to reach the target based upon the live images and the processed input data; and to transmit control signals to cause the robot to guide the end-effector to the target via the determined path.

Abstract:

A method and system provide two light beams which intersect at a remote center of motion (RCM) of a robot having an end-effector at a distal end thereof; capture images of a planned entry point and a planned path through the RCM; register the captured images to three-dimensional pre-operative images; define an entry point and path for the RCM in the captured images using the light beams; detect and track in the captured images a reference object having a known shape; in response to information about the entry point, the path, and the reference object, compute robot joint motion parameters to align the end-effector to the planned entry point and planned path; and communicate the computed robot joint motion parameters to the robot to align the end-effector to the planned entry point and the planned path.

Abstract:

A system employing an articulated steerable introducer (), an imaging controller () and a steerable introducer controller (). The articulated steerable introducer () includes a plurality of linkages and one or more joints interconnecting the linkages. The imaging controller () controls a planning of a distal steering motion of the articulated steerable introducer () to a target position within an anatomical region. The steerable introducer controller () controls an actuation of the joint(s) to distally steer the articulated steerable introducer () to the target position within the anatomical region as planned by the imaging controller ().

Abstract:

A robotic actuation system for sensorless force control of an interventional tool () having cable driven distal end (e.g., a probe, a steerable catheter, a guidewire and a colonoscope). The system employs a robotic actuator () having one or more motorized gears operate the cable drive of the interventional tool (). The system further employs a robotic workstation () to generate motor commands for simultaneous actuation position and contact force control of the interventional tool (). The motor commands are a function of an actuation position measurement and a motor current measurement of the at least one motorized gear for a desired actuation position of the interventional tool ().

Abstract:

A robotic system employing a robotic apparatus and a robot controller () for executing an interventional procedure. The robotic apparatus includes a robot manipulator () and an intervention robot () mounted to the robot manipulator () with a structural configuration of the intervention robot () defining a remote-center-of-motion. The robot controller () controls a manual actuation of a translational motion and/or a rotational motion of the robot manipulator () directed to a spatial positioning of the intervention robot () within a kinematic space of the robot manipulator () derived from a delineation of spatial positioning of the remote-center-of-motion within an image space. The robot controller () further controls a signal actuation of a pitch motion and/or a yaw motion of the intervention robot () directed to a spatial orienting of the end-effector within a kinematic space of the intervention robot () derived from a delineation of a spatial orienting of the remote-center-of-motion within the image space.
