Patent ID: 8509503

Claim:
Multi-application robotized platform for neurosurgery, wherein the platform comprises: a planning console comprising processing means capable of receiving and processing digital images, a positioning robot arm comprising a plurality of arm segments, one of which is terminal and proximal and the other is terminal and distal, said segments being interconnected by articulated elements and the terminal distal arm segment comprising a receiving element arranged in such away as to receive tools, said robot arm being guided by the planning console, at least one means for recording video images capable of recording images of an anatomical region to be processed, said means being electrically connectable to the processing means that the planning console includes, and said recording means being capable of being positioned and removably fixed to the receiving element of the distal arm segment, said means for recording video images comprising a central optical axis (AA′) and integrating a central laser module aligned with the central optical axis (AA′), said central laser module being a rangefinder laser capable of measuring the distance between its external face and the nearest object pointed by the laser beam, tools and/or instruments, and the like, designed to be positioned and removably fixed to the receiving element of the terminal distal arm segment, visualization means for displaying pre-operating and per-operating images, said means being electrically connected to the planning console for receiving video signals therefrom relating to the images to be displayed, and/or to the image recording means wherein the means for recording video images of the anatomical region to be processed includes two stereoscopic cameras in order to acquire two stereoscopic video images of the anatomical region to be processed and that the visualization means comprise a stereoscopic images visualization system, the image recording means further comprises two laser modules projecting visible laser beams convergent on a point capable of being adjusted so as to be the point of intersection of the two optical axes of the stereoscopic cameras.
