The various inventions relate to robotic surgical devices, consoles for operating such surgical devices, operating theaters in which the various devices can be used, insertion systems for inserting and using the surgical devices, and related methods.

Robotic surgical devices, systems and related methods

The embodiments disclosed herein relate to various medical device components, including components that can be incorporated into robotic and/or in vivo medical devices. Certain embodiments include various modular medical devices for in vivo medical procedures.

An apparatus for detecting and determining geometric features inside a borehole comprises a body section coupled to and deployable in the borehole by a conveyor, a head section having a first end pivotably coupled to the body section via a joint and a second end having an array of ultrasonic transducers. The array of transducers comprises, for example, a multiplicity of individual actuator elements and a multiplicity of individual sensor elements. An electronic control unit controls the timing of emission of ultrasonic radiation from the actuator elements of the array, receives signals generated by the sensor elements of the array, and controls movement of the head section via an actuator coupled to the joint. A method for reconstructing a geometry and detecting and identifying features in a borehole is also provided.

Methods and apparatus for downhole geometry reconstruction and feature detection and classification

Disclosed herein are various robotic surgical systems having various robotic devices. Further, disclosed herein are removable coupleable connection ports, each of which can be coupled to a robotic device and a camera assembly that is disposed into and through the robotic device. Also disclosed herein are removable connection ports having at least one of a elongate device body coupling mechanism, a camera assembly coupling mechanism, and/or a presence detection mechanism. Further discussed herein is a camera assembly with at least one actuation mechanism for actuating movement of the steerable distal tip thereof.

Robotically assisted surgical system and related devices and methods

Robotic surgical devices, systems, and related methods

A modular mobility platform has extendable and retractable tractor treads for engaging the walls of a downhole environment. The extendable and retractable tractor treads allow the platform to successfully navigate longitudinally through the downhole environment. The platform is composed of a plurality of different modules removably interconnected together longitudinally. Each module has at least one specific function, such as sensing, navigation, mobility, control, communication, power, or a combination thereof. The platform has longitudinally-directed detectors for detecting the forward or reverse direction through which the platform is to travel. A front end of the platform having a sensor at the forward end thereof articulates to navigate the mobility platform laterally through splits in the downhole environment. A system and method use the modular mobility platform.

Autonomous downhole robotic conveyance platform

The various embodiments herein relate to releasable attachment devices for use with surgical tools that include a fixed jaw fixedly coupled to a joint housing, a moveable jaw rotationally coupled to the joint housing, and an actuation mechanism operably coupled to the joint housing.
