Robotic surgical device

This invention describes a surgical tool designed for minimally invasive operations. It features a long, thin body that can be inserted into a patient through a small cut. Once inside, several small robotic arms can extend from the end of the device to perform surgery, with at least one arm having multiple joints for precise movement. An integrated camera provides the surgeon with a view of the operating area.

Why it matters: Filed before significant advancements in micro-robotics, miniaturized imaging, and advanced materials made highly articulated, multi-arm surgical devices more precise and controllable. Modern manufacturing and control systems could now realize the complex movements described.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedMiniaturized robotics, precision joints, control systems
