Systems and methods for assisting surgery

This invention describes a robotic system designed to help surgeons during operations on a patient's leg joint. It uses robotic arms, attached to a base, to hold and precisely move the patient's upper and lower leg. These arms are controlled by motors to manipulate the joint, with one arm offering more movement flexibility than the other.

Why it matters: Filed before the widespread adoption of advanced AI for real-time image processing and kinematic modeling. Modern machine learning techniques could significantly improve the accuracy and speed of joint gap segmentation and real-time motion analysis, which are central to controlling the robotic arms.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedRobotic arms, precision actuators, control software.
