Patent number: 10537396Abstract: A variety of systems and methods are described which enable quantitative information to be extracted regarding automated procedures, including those performed at a high speed that may require a user input, without having to interrupt the procedure. In addition, these systems and methods serve to provide information on one or more parameters of the automated procedure, whereby they may be modified, if required, to improve the automated procedure or the results from such a procedure. The systems and methods provided are especially useful in automated hair transplantation procedures.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2017Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: Restoration Robotics, Inc.Inventors: Gabriele Zingaretti, Mohan Bodduluri, Miguel G. Canales, Brian E. Tippett

Patent number: 8747427Abstract: The present application is directed to apparatus, systems and methods for automated delivery of fluids. According to one aspect, it is especially useful in providing a restricted flow of fluid to a tool, for example, a cannula or a needle used in hair transplantation. According to another aspect, the systems and methods provided herein enable the hair harvesting or a hair implantation tool to be cleaned, flushed or lubricated.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2011Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Restoration Robotics, Inc.Inventors: Tomás Meléndez, Clifford A. Oostman, Jr., Brian E. Tippett

Patent number: 8444656Abstract: Tools and methods are provided for removing biological units from a body surface utilizing a removal tool. The tool is of a concentric tube configuration comprising first and second elongated bodies, in which the second elongated body can be retracted into the first elongated body. The tool may incorporate retention members and mechanisms configured to impede movement of the biological unit in the direction of a distal end of the tool and to improve retention of the biological unit in the tool. Distal fluid or gas delivery may supplement a vacuum in a luminal space to help extract biological units from surrounding tissue.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2012Date of Patent: May 21, 2013Assignee: Restoration Robotics, Inc.Inventor: Brian E Tippett
