AI Technical Summary
The rotation mechanism of existing minimally invasive surgical instruments is prone to interfering with pitch and yaw movements during operation, affecting the accuracy and complexity of the operation.
The drive rod is connected to the actuator via a universal joint. The universal joint can achieve multi-angle deflection. When the self-rotation drive drives the actuator to rotate, it does not change the original pitch and yaw attitude. The self-rotation control unit controls the rotation of the actuator according to the operation of the finger.
This technology enables the rotational motion of the execution component in pitch and yaw postures to not interfere with other motions, improving the accuracy and controllability of the operation, enhancing the degree of freedom and ease of operation of the surgical robot, and reducing the overall size of the structure.
