Handhold tool

PROJECT:

H.A.R.T

Team B4: Alex Ha, Kai Azim, Angela Voo, and Nam Tran

Problem

What are we trying to solve ?

“Design a system that can follow the motion of a single point on the heart's surface so that a surgeon can operate on a beating heart. Then, the device will control a surgical tool tip position such that it follows the heart’s motion and ensures constant contact between the tool and the point of interest. One can envision a robot-aided surgical system that first synchronizes the surgical robot with the beating heart motion and then lets the surgeon operate on a seemingly motionless point on it.”

Elegant design with high accuracy sensors & camera

Solenoid

Oscillation Damper

Tensioner

With the precision of 21 μm, our solenoid is capable of tracking the patient’s heart flawlessly to a degree of accuracy never before seen in the 21st century!

With a wide variety of available surgical tools, surgeons will be able to operate with their desired length and style of tool with the same handheld device you know and love!

Adjustable weights placed 180° out of phase to virtually eliminate all vibrations, and oscillations, eliminating potential errors!

THE I.T.E.E. SYSTEM

Tips.png

Our ecosystem includes a wide variety of interchangeable end effectors/surgical tools such as:

  • Scalpel

  • Cauterizer

  • Forceps

  • Rock Pick

  • Suction

Our I.T.T.E’s come in a variety of lengths for any body type, and from all points of entry

What is our safety consideration?

Cross Referencing

E-Stop

Fluxuations

Our data is constantly being cross referenced between the ToF sensor and Load cell, if the ESP32 detects a measurement that doesn't add up within tolerance it alerts the surgeon and retracts the tool

As the heart pumps blood it expands and dilates, which is how we ensure the ToF sensor is reading correctly if the fluctuations in the ToF sensor doesn't line up with the BP monitor it alerts the surgeon and retracts the tool

If the surgeon feels that something is off there is always an estop pedal alike any other system

It is compatible with Da Vinci Machine!
