Brett Zubiate - Pittsburgh PA, US
Howard Choset - Pittsburgh PA, US
Assignee:
Carnegie Mellon University - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
B25J 17/00
B25J 17/02
B25J 18/00
A61B 1/00
US Classification:
7449004, 600140
Abstract:
A steerable multi-linked device may include a first multi-linked mechanism and a second multi-linked mechanism. At least one of the first multi-linked mechanism and the second multi-linked mechanism may include a first link, a plurality of intermediate links, a second link movably coupled to a second one of the intermediate links and a reinforcing member. A first one of the intermediate links may be movably coupled to the first link, and the reinforcing member may extend from a first end of a third one of the intermediate links toward a second end of the third one of the intermediate links.

Steerable, Follow The Leader Device

US Patent:
20090171151, Jul 2, 2009
Filed:
Jun 24, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/630279
Inventors:
Howard M. Choset - Pittsburgh PA, US
Alon Wolf - Haifa, IL
Marco A. Zenati - Pittsburgh PA, US
International Classification:
A61B 1/00
US Classification:
600114, 600146
Abstract:
A highly articulated robotic probe (HARP) is comprised of a first mechanism and a second mechanism, one or both of which can be steered in desired directions. Each mechanism can alternate between being rigid and limp. In limp mode the mechanism is highly flexible. When one mechanism is limp, the other is rigid. The limp mechanism is then pushed or pulled along the rigid mechanism. The limp mechanism is made rigid, thereby assuming the shape of the rigid mechanism. The rigid mechanism is made limp and the process repeats. These innovations allow the device to drive anywhere in three dimensions. The device can “remember” its previous configurations, and can go anywhere in a body or other structure (e.g. jet engine). When used in medical applications, once the device arrives at a desired location, the inner core mechanism can be removed and another functional device such as a scalpel, clamp or other tool slid through the rigid sleeve to perform. Because of the rules governing abstracts, this abstract should not be used to construe the claims.

US Patent:
20110184241, Jul 28, 2011
Filed:
Jun 5, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/996337
Inventors:
Brett Zubiate - Pittsburgh PA, US
Howard Choset - Pittsburgh PA, US
Assignee:
CARDIOROBOTICS, INC. - Raynham MA
International Classification:
A61B 1/008
US Classification:
600141
Abstract:
An articulate probe device includes a first mechanism, a second mechanism, and an overtube mechanism. The first mechanism includes a proximal link which is movable coupled to a first intermediate link, a plurality of intermediate links, and a distal link which is moveably coupled to a second one of the intermediate links. The second mechanism includes a proximal link which is movable coupled to a first intermediate link, a plurality of intermediate links, and a distal link which is moveably coupled to a second one of the intermediate links. The overtube mechanism includes a proximal link which is movable coupled to a first intermediate link, a plurality of intermediate links, and a proximal link which is moveably coupled to a second one of the intermediate links. Further, at least one of the first mechanism, second mechanism, and overtube mechanism is steerable and extendable beyond the other mechanisms.
