Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The robotic system enables continuous treatment by seamlessly switching between different laser wavelengths without requiring physical repositioning or setup changes. The automated robotic platform maintains continuous operation across multiple treatment zones and wavelength transitions, eliminating idle time between treatments and reducing overall procedure duration.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #20Continuity of useful action

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary planning and mapping of treatment areas using 3D imaging before treatment begins. Treatment paths and wavelength selections are pre-programmed, allowing the robotic system to execute multiple treatments in sequence without manual intervention, thereby reducing total treatment time and minimizing patient discomfort from repeated positioning.

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The robotic system incorporates real-time feedback through 3D imaging and position sensing that continuously monitors treatment delivery. The system compares actual treatment parameters against planned parameters and automatically adjusts to maintain precision, while the graphical user interface provides practitioners with feedback on treatment progress and allows mid-procedure adjustments.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The robotic platform provides dynamic treatment capability where treatment parameters such as wavelength, energy level, and pulse duration can be adjusted in real-time based on tissue response and treatment progression. The system transitions from static pre-programmed sequences to dynamic adaptive treatment, maintaining both precision and flexibility.
