VITREOUS ROBOT-
ONLINE WORLDWIDE OPERATION
Client: Shenkar college
Year: 2016
General background
This project demonstrates the future of eye surgery.
a medical robot that can perform a transatlantic and transnational surgery, can enable Patients receive treatment by Vitreous surgeons while far away.
The surgeon can use a console to operate this robot remotely located.
The design is meant to improve the patients' user experience, while undergoing surgery by intimidating robotic arms without any physical contact with his surgeon.
Design process
Retinal surgery is a complex process that only a few skilled surgeons are qualified to perform, and as such, there is a very large need for retinal surgeons. However, most of the medical knowledge is located in the western part of the globe, concentrated in big cities. To address this issue, Vitreous Robotresponds to the question in medical device design: Is it possible to create a non-frightening surgical experience for the delicate eye area, especially when the patient is located remotely?
Form development
As a medical robot, Vitreous Robotallows for transatlantic and transnational retinal surgery. It allows professional Retinal surgeons to perform operations with a remote console from anywhere in the world, for patients located in places that lack expertise in retinal surgery. The robot has two consoles – one located where the surgeon is and the other where the patient resides. The surgeon can work from his console wherever he wants. The robotic arms perform every movement initiated by the surgeon through his console minimally and accurately. This gives an even higher level of precision in eye surgery, allowing for more complex retinal operations.
Innovation
The innovative Vitreous Robotcreates a new solution and a new consciousness, socially and technologically. Through appropriate research and development, the future of medical device sees a Vitreous Robot in every hospital around the world, where each robot can be connected to the homes of any Retinal surgeon.
总体背景
视网膜手术是一个复杂的过程，只有少数技术熟练的外科医生有资格进行，因此对视网膜外科医生的需求非常大。然而，大多数医学知识都位于地球西部，集中在大城市。为了解决这个问题，Vitreous Robot 回答了医疗器械设计中的问题：是否有可能为脆弱的眼部区域创造一种不令人恐惧的手术体验，尤其是当患者身处偏远地区时？作为医疗机器人，Vitreous Robot 可以进行跨大西洋和跨国视网膜手术。它允许专业的视网膜外科医生在世界任何地方使用远程控制台为位于缺乏视网膜手术专业知识的地方的患者进行手术。机器人有两个控制台 - 一个位于外科医生所在的地方，另一个位于患者所在的地方。外科医生可以在任何他想要的控制台上工作。机械臂以最小限度和精确的方式执行外科医生通过控制台发起的每一个动作。这使得眼科手术的精度更高，可以进行更复杂的视网膜手术。从设计上看，玻璃体机器人看起来赏心悦目、令人放心。圆环充当着容纳机械臂的枢纽，几乎将它们伪装起来。由于这种情况可能会让患者感到不安，因此设计旨在让患者放松。柔软的外形，加上以白色为主的机身，营造出一种平静的氛围。在患者麻醉之前，位于中央环的机器人手术臂是隐藏的。只有当患者躺下并放松时，它们才会出现。当医生远程执行手术程序时，手术室内需要一名护士监督。如果出现故障或并发症，“手动”选项允许在不使用机械臂的情况下执行手术程序。手术完成后，整个床将通过轨道系统向前移动到环中。
