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).

The invention claimed is: 1. A robotic system for manipulating a catheter having a plurality of steering wires longitudinally situated within a length of the catheter, each steering wire connected to a catheter pull ring at or near the distal end of the catheter and connected to a control member at or near the proximal end of the catheter, the robotic system comprising: a user interface configured to display a view of an anatomical model and to receive one or more user inputs; a…
