  • Patent number: 11612438
    Abstract: A navigation method for a medical operation and implemented by a robotic system is provided. The method includes the steps of: receiving, at a processor of the robotic system, at least one set of navigation data; receiving or generating at least one three-dimensional model of the virtual object in the navigation data; calculating the navigation data to generate a virtual environment and at least one navigation instruction; and presenting, at a user interface associated with the robotic system, the virtual environment and/or the navigation instruction to a user of the robotic system for the user to refer to during the medical operation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 5, 2018
    Date of Patent: March 28, 2023
    Assignee: POINT ROBOTICS MEDTECH INC.

  • Patent number: 11298186
    Abstract: A surgery assistive system includes an instrument having a tool and a manipulator connected to the tool, a spatial sensor system for detecting spatial information of the tool, and a computer system for manipulating a kinematic state of the manipulator. A method for obtaining surface information by the surgery assistive system includes the steps of: defining a target region and a plurality of reference points on a virtual anatomical model of a subject; prompting a user to generate sampling information by using the instrument to sample a plurality of sampling points on the subject corresponding to the reference points; and designating the sampling information as surface information of the sampling points. Each piece of the sampling information includes a coordinate of one of the sampling points, an angle of a contact of the tool at the sampling point, and parameters associated with the contact.
