MUMBAI, India, July 7 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202527104739 A) filed by Medical Microinstruments, Inc. on October 30, 2025, for Method For Keeping A Surgical Instrument Of A Robotic Surgery System, During Its Movement Control, Within The Field Of View Of A Viewing System And Related Robotic Surgery System.
Inventors include Ruffaldi, Emanuele; and Simi, Massimiliano.
The application for the patent was published on July 03, 2026, under issue no. 27/2026.
Abstract: A method for controlling a robotic system for medical or surgical teleoperation is described. The robotic system, to which the method is applied, comprises at least one surgical instrument (170), adapted to operate in teleoperation, and further comprises viewing means (120), (130) configured to display to an operator (150) images and/or videos of at least one viewing space associated with a teleoperation area in which the surgical instrument (170) operates. The method first comprises the step of determining whether a position of the surgical instrument (170) is within an allowed space correlated to a first viewing space FOV1, in which the first viewing space FOV1 is used as the current viewing space for the teleoperation, with respect to which a current visualization is provided to the operator. The method then comprises, if or when it is determined that the aforesaid position of the surgical instrument (170) is not within the aforesaid allowed space correlated to the first viewing space FOV1, the further step of automatically providing, by the viewing means, a second visualization defining a second viewing space FOV2 having a surface or field of view greater than the aforesaid first viewing space FOV1 and containing, or partially containing, the aforesaid first viewing space FOV1. Said second visualization comprises a combination and/or superimposition of the aforesaid second viewing space FOV2 and first viewing space FOV1, and/or a switching from the aforesaid first viewing space FOV1 to the aforesaid second viewing space FOV2, in which such a switching is performed, without mechanical movements, by controlling optical and/or digital parameters of the viewing means (120), (130). A robotic system for medical or surgical teleoperation, adapted to be controlled by the aforesaid control method, is further described.
