A ROBOTIC MANIPULATOR SYSTEM

摘要

In the present application, a robotic manipulator system for manoeuvring an existing medical instrument to a desired location within a target zone during a medical procedure is provided. Said robotic manipulator system comprises, at least one control unit (2) capable of receiving an operator input; at least one robotic manipulator (1), in communication with said control unit (2) and responsive to said operator input, said robotic manipulator (1) including, at least one controller, a rotation mechanism in communication with said at least one controller and being rotated about a first axis, a horizontal movement unit (8) in communication with said at least one controller and being displaced along a first path, and a deflection actuator (6) capable of receiving a portion of the existing instrument, said deflection actuator (6) being in communication with said at least one controller and being displaced along a second path; wherein displacement of said deflection mechanism along said second path causes deflection of a distal end of the existing medical instrument.
