Those readers who have seen "Transformers 2" will probably remember the spider-type machine doctor in the Decepticon camp. It can climb into the human body and steal confidential information. Now it is necessary to introduce such a robotic assistant in the operating room, but it is long. It's not like a spider, but like a more scary snake.
This serpentine robot with a soft waist is very suitable for minimally invasive surgery, it can slide into the patient's throat and treat those areas that are usually difficult to reach.
The serpentine robot's head is equipped with a high-definition camera and joystick, and the doctor can control this "soft leprechaun" into some non-linear areas and avoid obstacles.
According to Bloomberg, Professor Howie Choset of Carnegie Mellon University has been conceiving this machine's surgical assistant since 2004. He then joined the company of Marco Zenati at the University of Pittsburgh and his colleague Alon Wolf to co-found Medrobotics. This snake robot is the wisdom of the company, and it is also the world's first commercial surgical assistant.
In order to enhance the capabilities of snake robots, R&D personnel added two sets of sophisticated mechanisms inside and outside. The outer body can be bent according to the doctor's instructions, and then the inner body can be deformed accordingly, creating a stable surgical platform for the doctor. The company said that this special design allows doctors to “observe more, understand more, and treat more accuratelyâ€.
In addition, the company claims that this design greatly reduces the learning cost of manipulating robots because it is intuitive and can directly internalize adult instincts.
According to Bloomberg News, this new technology can significantly improve the efficiency of minimally invasive surgery in the future, and the company has now received an investment of 130 million US dollars.
