  • Patent number: 10667876
    Abstract: The robotic device for positioning a surgical instrument relative to the body of a patient includes a first robotic arm with a device for rigidly connecting to at least one surgical instrument, a device for anatomical realignment of the first arm by realigning an image that is of an area of the anatomy of the patient, and a device for compensating the movements of the first arm on the basis of detected movements. One version of the device includes at least one second robotic arm having sensors for detecting inner movements of the anatomical area, and a device for controlling the positioning of the first arm relative to sensed inner movements and to the outer movements induced in the second arm.

  • Patent number: 10039476
    Abstract: The method for the automated and assisted acquisition of anatomical surfaces includes a first acquisition of the surfaces undertaken in order to create a first numerical model and a perioperative second acquisition undertaken by scanning the surfaces in order to create a second numerical model for identifying the coordinates of the surfaces. The surfaces are supported by a robotic arm; and then the models are brought into correspondence by resetting. The scanning in the second acquisition includes making a preliminary identification of the coordinates of noteworthy points on the surfaces manually, assisted by the robotic arm, and the identifying parts a the points, in order to construct a reference frame and to determine a scanning region; creating an intermediate model from the reference frame and at least one of the points; preliminary resetting the first model with the second model; and automatically scanning the determined zone.

  • Publication number: 20140371577
    Abstract: The robotic medical device for monitoring the respiration of a patient and correcting robotic trajectory includes at least one robotic arm; a mechanical ventilator, to which the respiration of a patient is subjected; and a recorder for, on the basis of time, times during mechanical ventilation when the patient is in an original position and a high position. There is also a device for capturing images of an anatomical region of the patient, the triggering of the device being synchronized with the times recorded in the original position and the high position. There is also a device for calculating a three-dimensional displacement vector of the region between the original and high positions and a device for correcting the trajectory of the robotic arm on the basis of a calculated three-dimensional vector.
