Abstract:
A robot system including a surgical robot inserted into a subject may include: a photographing device that is disposed on an end portion of the surgical robot, is inserted into a body part of the subject, which is to be treated, and captures a real-time image with a resolution at which the body part to be treated may be observed in units of cells; a control device that receives a control signal for controlling the surgical robot by referring to the real-time image received from the photographing device; and an energy generating device that is disposed adjacent to the photographing device, and transmits energy to a region corresponding to the body part to be treated which is being photographed by the photographing device according to the control signal.
Abstract:
A surgical instrument includes an extension portion having a surgical tool at an end thereof, and a head portion connected to the extension portion and actuating the surgical tool. In the surgical instrument, the extension portion includes a first extension portion connected to the head portion, a second extension portion having an elbow joint portion that is bending-actuated by a rigid rod that is reciprocated in a lengthwise direction by the head portion, and a connection portion connecting the first and second extension portions at an angle.
Abstract:
A surgical implement and a manipulation system including the surgical implement may include at least one instrument including at least one joint portion. The joint portion may include a first part, a second part connected to the first part, and a force applying element for applying a force for bending (or rotating) the second part. A distance between a joint point and a force application point where a force is applied may be greater than a diameter of at least one of the first part and the second part. The instrument may further include a second joint portion spaced apart from the joint portion, and a surgical tool connected to an end portion of the second joint portion. The manipulation system may include a supporting structure, at least one instrument supported by the supporting structure, and an operating device for operating the instrument.
