==ROBOTIC FISHING TOOL - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17551943 titled 'ROBOTIC FISHING TOOL

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a downhole robotic fishing tool used in wellbores. It consists of a main body, an intermediate body, and a robotic hand. The hand can be opened or closed and includes a palm, thumb, and finger. A camera is positioned on the palm.

* The tool is designed to be used in wellbores for fishing operations.
* It includes a main body, intermediate body, and a robotic hand.
* The hand can be opened or closed and has a palm, thumb, and finger.
* The thumb and finger can grasp objects within a specific area.
* A camera is positioned on the palm to provide visual feedback.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Wellbore fishing operations
* Oil and gas industry
* Subsea exploration and maintenance

Problems solved by this technology:

* Difficulties in retrieving objects from wellbores
* Limited visibility in downhole environments
* Inability to manipulate objects in tight spaces

Benefits of this technology:

* Improved efficiency and success rate in wellbore fishing operations
* Enhanced visibility and control in downhole environments
* Increased safety by reducing the need for human intervention


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A downhole robotic fishing tool includes a main body configured to be positioned in a wellbore and an intermediate body connected to a downhole end of the main body by an upper articulating joint. A robotic hand is connected to a downhole end of the intermediate body by a lower articulating joint. The robotic hand is configurable between an open configuration and a closed configuration and includes a palm, a robotic thumb and a robotic finger attached at their respective proximal ends to the palm in opposition. When in the closed configuration, the distal ends of the thumb and finger are within a grasp center area centered on a center point defined by an intersection of a grasping axis and an opposition axis of the robotic hand. A camera is positioned on the palm that has an optical axis that intersects the grasp center area proximate the center point.
