World's first brain surgery robot born to automatically avoid mishandling

brain surgery is known for its risky and difficultCanadian scientists and robotics experts announced on the 17th the development of the world's first brain surgery robot, this robot has a keen sense of touch and extraordinary "
vision", can effectively help doctors to complete micro-brain surgeryThe robot, known as the "nerve arm," combines brain surgery with aerospace technology, reutersthe first time this summerIts emergence allows neurosurgeons to perform many high-risk operationsThe robot's built-in MRI device provides insight into the smallest neural structures in the human body and creates clear 3D images" Nerve Arms is expected to be in clinical practice for the first time this summer at theHospitalCalgary HillsTheHospitalis currently home to the University of Calgary School of Medicine Research CenterThe surgical robot equipment cost up to $24 millionIts manufacturer, Canada's Macdonald Dedwell Associates Ltd., has built a mechanism called the Canadian Arm for NASA's space shuttle" The invention of surgical robots has enabled surgeons to cope with high-risk operations that are difficult for humans to reach, such as the removal of brain tumors," Garnette Sutherland, a neurosurgeon at the University of Calgary and lead staffer, told Reuters Automatic avoidance of all misoperation
the "nerve arm" control device is similar to a cockpit, operated by the surgeon The doctor performs this by observing a stereoscopic image display The display is connected to the machine's tentacles and shows a deep perspective of the organ At the same time, doctors can refer to mr IMR images displayed on computers next to them, and even hear the sound of it performing in the human body through the robot's built-in microphone The control stand also has a touch screen that displays 3D images By adjusting the perspective, the doctor can observe the patient's condition in all directions "Our goal is to make complex and difficult operations easy and impossible Roboticengineer Alex Greer said while demonstrating the operation of the "nerve arm." Years of professional training and clinical practice have given surgeons precise and stable hands However, even this is not comparable to a "nerve arm" with automatic correction It automatically avoids all mishandling and ensures a safe and smooth operation But it also means that the burden on surgeons will increase Leading the surgical concept revolution
Sutherland will lead his team in clinical trials of "nerve arms" in the coming weeks, as requested by Health Canada "If the experiment goes well, the designers plan to launch different types of 'nerve arms' and sell them to hospitals So far, however, there are no specific marketing plans in place," said Bruce Mark, vice president of Macdonald Dedwell " Surgical robots are the product of the fusion of advanced technology When the doctor swung into the operating room, he felt scientists and robotics experts working with them to make the operation work seamlessly," Sutherland told reporters as he fiddled with parts of the nerve arm "The advent of surgical robots has introduced a new concept compared to traditional surgery that relies entirely on humans, and this is a big leap forward," adds Sutherland (rereproduced from the Southern Daily)
