Automatic Robotic Puncture System for Accurate Liver Cancer Ablation Based on Optical Surgical Navigation

This paper designed an automatic robotic puncture system for accurate liver cancer ablation based on optical surgical navigation. The near-infrared optical surgical navigation system we constructed for liver ablation was applied to carry out surgical planning and simulation, the near-infrared cameras dynamically tracked the current position of puncture needle relative to the location of the patient's anatomy, then guided the surgery robot to position precisely in three-dimensional space and performed the surgery.
