Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A surgical robot with seven degrees of freedom, including various types of joints, offers a hybrid active-passive control for operation both manually and by programmed navigation. One of the degrees of freedom allows the robot to be moved efficiently around the axis of a patient's body to provide ample workspace for surgical procedures in an operating room.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A surgical robot comprising a base and a tool holder adjustably connected to each other by way of a connection that comprises a series of at least seven joints with linking members in between, wherein the series of joints comprises: (1) a prismatic joint that connects the base to a vertically sliding block; (2) an arc-shaped sliding joint that connects the sliding block to an arc-shaped linking member; and (3) a robotic arm that comprises at least five motor-driv…
