Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A robotic system for manipulating a catheter with a plurality of steering wires longitudinally situated within a length of the catheter includes a user interface configured to display a view of an anatomical model and to receive one or more user inputs; a catheter manipulator assembly configured to linearly actuate one or more control members of a catheter, and a robotic controller configured to provide a view of an anatomical model to the user interface; accept one or more user inputs from the user interface; register the one or more user inputs to a coordinate system associated with the anatomical model; compute one or more actuator commands from the one or more registered inputs; and cause the catheter manipulator assembly to linearly actuate one or more control members of a catheter in accordance with the computed actuator commands.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 - 20 . (canceled) 21 . A method of determining the path of a robotically manipulated catheter within an anatomical model, the method comprising: determining a minimum transverse distance between multiple data points in the anatomical model and an anatomical feature; defining allowable catheter movement speeds as a function of a determined minimum transverse distance; registering the current position of a robotically manipulated catheter within the anatomical model; a…
