NAVIGATION SYSTEM OF SURGICAL ROBOT, NAVIGATION DEVICE AND NAVIGATION METHOD USING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18090167 titled 'NAVIGATION SYSTEM OF SURGICAL ROBOT, NAVIGATION DEVICE AND NAVIGATION METHOD USING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The navigation system of a surgical robot described in the patent application includes an endoscope and a navigation device. The endoscope captures an internal image of a tissue, while the navigation device analyzes the internal image to obtain depth information of the tissue, determines if there are multiple passages in the tissue based on the depth information, and selects the passage that aligns with a path planning setting when multiple passages are present.
- Endoscope captures internal image of tissue
- Navigation device analyzes image to obtain depth information
- Navigation device determines if there are multiple passages in tissue
- Navigation device selects passage that aligns with path planning setting
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in minimally invasive surgeries, such as laparoscopic procedures, to help guide the surgical robot through complex tissue structures.
Problems Solved
This technology helps surgeons navigate through intricate tissue structures more accurately and efficiently, reducing the risk of damaging surrounding tissues during surgical procedures.
Benefits
- Improved accuracy in navigating through tissues - Reduced risk of damaging surrounding tissues - Enhanced efficiency in surgical procedures
Potential Commercial Applications
"Navigation System for Surgical Robots: Advancements in Tissue Navigation Technology"
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of navigation systems in robotic surgeries to assist surgeons in navigating through tissues accurately.
What are the potential limitations of this technology in real-world surgical settings?
In real-world surgical settings, potential limitations of this technology could include: - Technical malfunctions of the navigation system - Limited compatibility with certain surgical robot models
Compared to traditional surgical navigation methods, this technology offers: - Enhanced accuracy in navigating through tissues - Real-time depth information of tissues - Automated selection of optimal passages for surgical procedures
Original Abstract Submitted
A navigation system of a surgical robot includes an endoscope and a navigation device. The endoscope is configured to capture an internal image of a tissue. The navigation device is configured for: analyzing the internal image to obtain a depth information of the tissue; determining whether there are several passages in the tissue according to the depth information; and selecting the passage that conforms to a path planning setting when the passages appear in the tissue.
