20140194699 | SINGLE PORT SURGICAL ROBOT AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A single port surgical robot capable of setting the location of a remote center motion (RCM) point, and a control method thereof includes: a first link connected to a body by a first joint in a direction perpendicular to the body, the first link having a linear structure; a second link connected to the upper end of the first link by a second joint, the second link having a curved structure; a third link connected to the upper end of the second link by a third joint, the third link having a cylindrical structure; a plurality of light-emitting units arranged on the lower end of the third link along the circumference of the third link, and configured to emit light toward a remote center motion (RCM) point; and a controller configured to adjust the location of the RCM point. | 07-10-2014 |
20140257331 | LAPAROSCOPIC SURGICAL DEVICES HAVING WIRE REDUCER - Laparoscopic surgical devices include a first member having a first gear, a second member having a second gear corresponding to the first gear, a connection member configured to connect the first member and the second member; first and second wire mounting pieces respectively at the first and second members, a first wire wound on the first wire mounting pieces so as to be pulled upon receiving a first drive force; and a second wire wound on the second wire mounting pieces so as to be pulled upon receiving a second drive force. The drive unit is configured to selectively transmit the first and second amplified driving forces to a respective one the first member and the second member to cause tilting of the first member and the second member. | 09-11-2014 |
20140257336 | ENDOSCOPIC SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS - An endoscopic surgical instrument may include: two surgical instrument modules, each of which is provided with a surgical instrument portion; and/or an endoscopic module configured to form a triangular shape with the two surgical instrument modules and configured to capture operations of the surgical instrument modules at different angles using a plurality of joints. Wires connecting respective members coupled by the plurality of joints may be configured to amplify drive forces of a drive portion applied to the plurality of joints. The plurality of joints may include rolling joints at which teeth of gears engage and rotate with each other. The plurality of joints may provide three or more degrees of freedom to the endoscopic module. | 09-11-2014 |
20140303644 | SURGICAL ROBOT - A surgical robot including a slave device provided with a surgical instrument includes a body having at least one link that includes a plurality of solenoid segments, and an end effector mounted to one end of the body. | 10-09-2014 |
20140309659 | SURGICAL ROBOT AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A surgical robot including a slave arm and an instrument provided at the slave arm to be introduced into a single port to perform surgery. The instrument includes a plurality of surgical instrument members to perform surgery while coming into contact with a surgical object, and a plurality of arm members. The arm members include surgical position regulators to move the surgical instrument members from the single port to a first surgical region where the surgical object is located, and surgical workers connecting the surgical position regulators and the surgical instrument members to each other, the surgical workers serving to move the surgical instrument members to a position close to surgical object within the first surgical region. The single-port surgical robot may effectively perform simultaneous surgery upon various surgical regions like multi-port surgery. | 10-16-2014 |
20140330073 | END EFFECTOR AND REMOTE CONTROL APPARATUS - An end effector includes a tip part having a deformation member that is physically changed due to contact with an object, a gauge display part configured to display gauge information according to a physical change of the deformation member, and a connecting rod part connected to the tip part and configured to operate the tip part. A manipulator including an end effector configured to display physical information, which varies according to an object making contact with a tip part, on a gauge display part, an endoscope configured to obtain an image of the tip part of the end effector and an image of the gauge display part, and a control part configured to control transmission of the image obtained by the endoscope, and to control operations of the tip part and the endoscope. | 11-06-2014 |
20150090756 | BABY CARRIER - Disclosed is a baby carrier having a seat disposed at an upper portion of a walking assistance robot such that the weight of a baby is supported by the floor while being distributed through the walking assistance robot, thereby significantly reducing a fatigue of a user generated when a baby is held in arms or carried on a back of the user. | 04-02-2015 |
20150122071 | ACTUATOR AND MANIPULATOR INCLUDING THE SAME - Disclosed is a manipulator including a wire driving actuator to bend base and terminal sections of a joint assembly in multiple directions by a base section wire and a terminal section wire. The terminal section driving wire is operatively connected to the base section driving wire such that the terminal section driving wire is moved by a distance equal to a movement distance of the base section driving wire. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent bending of the terminal section upon bending the base section. | 05-07-2015 |
