Abstract:
Systems and methods for driving a flexible medical instrument to a target in an anatomical space with robotic assistance are described herein. The flexible instrument may have a tracking sensor embedded therein. An associated robotic control system may be provided, which is configured to register the flexible instrument to an anatomical image using data from the tracking sensor and identify one or more movements suitable for navigating the instrument towards an identified target. In some embodiments, the robotic control system drives or assists in driving the flexible instrument to the target.

Claim (Index 21):
A robotic medical system comprising:\n a robotically controlled medical instrument; an instrument driver coupled to the medical instrument; a console including a user input device, wherein the console is configured to drive the medical instrument through an anatomical space; a display for displaying a representation of the medical instrument on an image of the anatomical space; and a controller configured to detect a localization sensor of the medical instrument, signal the display screen to display the representation of the medical instrument on the image of the anatomical space, and receive an identification of a target location for the medical instrument.
