Publication number: 20240024053Abstract: Co-manipulation robotic systems are described herein that may be used for assisting with laparoscopic surgical procedures. The co-manipulation robotic systems allow a surgeon to use commercially-available surgical tools while providing benefits associated with surgical robotics. Advantageously, the surgical tools may be seamlessly coupled to the robot arms using a disposable coupler while the reusable portions of the robot arm remain in a sterile drape. Further, the co-manipulation robotic system may operate in multiple modes to enhance usability and safety, while allowing the surgeon to position the instrument directly with the instrument handle and further maintain the desired position of the instrument using the robot arm.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Applicant: Moon Surgical SASInventors: Victoria Cheng-Tan WU, Moran Gera MAMO, Ehsan BASAFA, David Paul NOONAN

Patent number: 11864850Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for path-based navigation of tubular networks. In one aspect, the method includes receiving location data from at least one of a set of location sensors and a set of robot command inputs, the location data being indicative of a location of an instrument configured to be driven through a luminal network. The method also includes determining a first estimate of the location of the instrument at a first time based on the location data, determining a second estimate of the location of the instrument at the first time based on the path, and determining the location of the instrument at the first time based on the first estimate and the second estimate.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2021Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Auris Health, Inc.Inventors: Subashini Srinivasan, Hedyeh Rafii-Tari, Ritwik Ummalaneni, David Paul Noonan, Prasanth Jeevan

Patent number: 11779400Abstract: Provided are robotic systems and methods for navigation of luminal network that can improve strain-based shape sensing. In one aspect, the system can compare strain-based shape data to shape data determined based on robotic data (e.g., kinematic model data, torque measurements, mechanical model data, command data, etc.) and adjust the strain-based shape data as necessary. Any portion of the strain-based shape data can be adjusted, weighted differently, or discarded based on the comparison. For example, data from trustworthy sources may indicate that the shape of an instrument exhibits or should exhibit one or more characteristics. If the system determines that any portion of the strain-based shape data is not in agreement with such characteristics, the system may adjust the portion of the strain-based shape data such that the adjusted strain-based shape data is in agreement with the characteristics of the instrument.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2020Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: Auris Health, Inc.Inventors: Chauncey F.
