Abstract: A robot-assisted echographic probe that includes an enclosure, an ultrasonic transducer module having a support housing mounted at a distal end of a guide sleeve in a sealed compartment of the enclosure that is separated from a control compartment of the enclosure by a sealed transversal wall, and means for moving the transducer module which are suitable for directing the transducer module along three axes of rotation so as to sweep the inner surface of an enclosure shell of the sealed compartment, the moving means being motor-driven by actuators, at least a portion of the actuators being housed in the control compartment, and the means for moving the transducer module being arranged in the sealed compartment of the enclosure.

Abstract: The subject of the invention is a robotized system of the type including a support onto which is placed an assembly of articulated arms at the end of which is disposed a tool in contact with a determined work surface, the system allowing the displacement of the tool in rotation about the point of contact of the tool with the work surface, in accordance with signals for controlling a module suitable for calculating them as a function of the remote handling of a virtual tool. The system is suitable for moving the point of contact of the tool in translation and this translation is controlled by the module in terms of polar coordinates, so as to have an angular displacement of constituent elements of this same support. The invention is more particularly useful in respect of tele-echography operations.
