This invention describes a robotic surgical system featuring a tool that applies energy to tissue. A controller in the system monitors the tissue's temperature and automatically adjusts the power of the applied energy. Specifically, it increases power if the temperature is too low and decreases it if the temperature gets too high, aiming for precise tissue treatment.
Why it matters: Filed before advanced real-time control systems and AI for surgical robotics were widely available, which could now precisely manage energy application based on tissue feedback, improving safety and efficacy.
AI gives you a few directions you could take this. Pick one, and we check whether your version is different enough to patent, then write the filing.
