Development of An Adaptive Multimodal Collaborative Surgical Robot System for Needle Insertion

This surgical robot is primarily used for percutaneous puncture surgeries, such as biopsy and tumor ablations. The system assists physicians in preoperative planning of puncture paths and precisely locates the puncture needle during surgery. Considering the deformable nature of soft tissues, it employs CT and ultrasound fusion imaging to monitor the puncture process in real-time, thereby enhancing puncture safety and accuracy.

1. Generative AI, combined with physicians' clinical experience, establishes a needle insertion decision-making model.
2. CT and ultrasound image fusion technology provide real-time information during surgery, preventing soft tissue deformation that may lead to puncture errors and surgical risks.
3. Precise control by the robotic system reduces the difficulty of surgery for physicians and decreases the number of CT scans for patients.
