Surgical robot for liposuction

A surgical robot for liposuction, the surgical robot comprising:

• a control unit generating a control signal necessary for driving the surgical robot;
• a robot arm driven by the control signal received from the control unit;
• a cannula mounted on the robot arm, extending in one direction, and configured to be inserted up to a particular point through a hole perforated in a skin of a surgery patient;
• a suction unit formed on an end portion of the cannula, the suction unit configured to be inserted into a surgical site to suction fat;
• and
• a haptic sensor configured to measure a reaction force applied on a front end of the cannula,
• wherein the robot arm is driven such that the particular point on the cannula is a RCM (remote center of motion), and
• the control unit generates a control signal for driving the robot arm such that the suction unit moves within an operating scope set based on a signal received from the haptic sensor.

• and a vision unit mounted on a front end of the cannula, and configured to photograph the surgical site to provide visual information,
• wherein the robot arm is driven such that the particular point on the cannula is a RCM (remote center of motion),
• the control unit generates a control signal for driving the robot arm such that the suction unit moves within an operating scope set from data deduced by an image analysis of the visual information, and
• the suction unit is operated in case where the front end of the cannula is checked to be positioned among fat tissues from the visual information.
