Enhanced Markerless Navigation for Robotic Surgery

The inventive concept improves markerless navigation in robotic surgery by leveraging AI computer vision, machine learning, and real-time video feed to predict and correct deviations in the surgical tool's trajectory, ensuring accurate placement and minimizing errors.

The original patent for markerless navigation using AI computer vision has limitations in accurately tracking objects of interest and guiding surgical tools. The new inventive concept addresses these limitations by introducing novel methods for real-time 3D tracking, unique identifier-based object tracking, and AI-powered trajectory correction, thereby enhancing the overall precision and safety of robotic surgery.

The inventive concept comprises a system for markerless navigation in robotic surgery, utilizing a neural network to predict and correct for deviations in the surgical tool's trajectory based on real-time video feed. Additionally, the system incorporates a method for tracking an object of interest by projecting a light beam with a unique identifier and using machine learning algorithms to combine data from multiple cameras and generate a 3D model of the object. The system also features a surgical navigation system with a light source projecting a patterned light beam and a processing unit using artificial intelligence to detect and track the patterned light beam in real-time.

The new claims introduce novel elements, including the use of neural networks for trajectory correction, unique identifier-based object tracking, and machine learning algorithms for 3D model generation. These elements are non-obvious and provide a significant improvement over the original patent, enabling more accurate and efficient robotic surgery.

Alternative embodiments of the inventive concept could include using different types of sensors or cameras, implementing various machine learning algorithms, or integrating the system with existing robotic surgery platforms. Variations could also involve adapting the system for use in different surgical procedures or environments.

The enhanced markerless navigation system has significant commercial potential in the robotic surgery market, particularly in areas such as orthopedic, neurosurgical, and cardiovascular procedures. The system's ability to improve accuracy and minimize errors could lead to increased adoption and market share in the growing robotic surgery industry.
