This invention describes a robotic surgical system featuring a specialized removable connection port. This port attaches to the main robotic device and allows a camera to be inserted through it. The camera itself has a steerable tip, enabling it to look around during surgery, and the claims specifically detail the connection port's hinged mechanisms for coupling.
Why it matters: Filed before significant advancements in AI for surgical image processing and robotic control algorithms. These could now enhance the precision and autonomy of the steerable camera and overall system.
