Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for autonomous robotic surgery which is preferably integrated with autonomous-assisted intraoperative real-time single modality and/or multi-modality fusion imaging/electrophysiological diagnostics. The robotic surgery systems and methods can be integrated with autonomous-assisted intraoperative body/limb positioning, and integrated with autonomous-assisted land and unmanned aerial vehicular patient transportation.
Claims20
A robotic surgical system comprising:
- one or more surgical robots including a first surgical robot and a second surgical robot;
- a plurality of arms movably coupled to the one or more surgical robots and configured to navigate three dimensional space, the plurality of arms including (i) a first C-arm coupled to the first surgical robot and (ii) a second C-arm that is coupled to the second surgical robot and is independently movable from the first C-arm, the first C-arm being configured to move within a first surgical area relative to a patient, and the second C-arm being configured to move within a second surgical area relative to the patient that does not overlap with the first surgical area;
- and
- one or more real-time imaging devices disposed in one or more of the plurality of arms and configured to provide real-time visual monitoring of the one or more surgical robots,
- wherein the one or more surgical robots includes:
- a top portion operatively coupled to at least one of the plurality of arms to allow the one or more surgical robots to move relative to the at least one of the plurality of arms,
- a bottom portion configured to attach a surgical instrument,
- a plurality of upper linkages having first upper ends and second upper ends opposite to the first upper ends, the first upper ends being pivotably coupled to the top portion,
- a plurality of lower linkages having first lower ends and second lower ends opposite to the first lower ends, the second lower ends being pivotably coupled to the bottom portion, and
- one or more sensors including one or more visual monitoring sensors that are embedded in the plurality of upper linkages and the plurality of lower linkages,
- wherein the second upper ends of the plurality of upper linkages are pivotably coupled to the first lower ends of the plurality of lower linkages, respectively, between the top portion and the bottom portion, and
- wherein the one or more surgical robots are configured to:
- receive image data from the one or more real-time imaging devices, the image data produced from the real-time visual monitoring;
- determine a first position of the one or more surgical robots relative to a patient;
- and
- autonomously adjust a position of the surgical instrument relative to the patient by automatically moving to a second position relative to an arm of the plurality of arms, the automatically moving to the second position being based at least in part on the received image data,
- wherein receiving the image data, determining the first position, and the autonomously adjusting the position of the surgical instrument are performed for the first and second surgical robots, independently.
