In the Chongqing Green Intelligent Technology Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a minimally invasive abdominal surgery robot with a complex structure will soon be put into use. This surgical robot only need to play a few holes in the diseased area, you can carry out the operation, and will not be like artificial surgery, the need for a larger operating surface, the trauma caused to the patient will be smaller.
According to the project's technical director, Xie Yi, the robot can meet the doctor's needs for any hand movement, and compared with the joints of the human hand, it has a larger space for movement, but also more flexible, and can complete the surgical process that the human hand can not reach. Xie Yi said that "traditional surgery requires at least two to three people, but this robot has at least three arms or even four arms, so it can be operated by one person with multiple arms, which is more efficient and safer."
Zou Qiansheng, the mechanical supervisor for the project, gave a more detailed introduction to the construction and working principle of this surgical robot. This surgical robot includes several parts such as the main console operated by the doctor, the mechanical arm and the 3D visual imaging system. The main surgeon only needs to operate the mechanical arm through the main console to perform the surgery, while the 3D visual imaging system acts as the doctor's eyes in the process.
Zou Qiansheng explained, "The traditional doctor is standing next to the bed, holding two instruments in his hand, next to a supporting person, or holding an endoscope there to look at the screen to do the surgery, this situation will be very tired if you stand for a long time. And the doctor's hand has a jitter, resulting in imprecision, and later the doctor to do the surgery process there is the principle of leverage, which is even more unable to pinch the target object accurately." And the emergence of this surgical robot will completely solve these problems to a large extent.
