Multi-segment rotation robotic arm

This robotic arm is built from multiple segments linked together, each capable of rotating 360 degrees relative to the next along an angled joint. This allows the arm to maneuver through complex, winding spaces, such as inside the body during minimally invasive surgery, while keeping the surgical opening small. The arm's electric motor, powered by a battery, drives this rotation, with these components housed within the hollow, elliptical segments of the arm.

Why it matters: Miniaturization of surgical robotics components and advances in compact power transmission through rotating joints have progressed significantly since 2021, potentially simplifying the integration of power and drive mechanisms within the arm's segments.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedCustom electromechanical joints, compact power delivery, surgical grade.
