Robotic actuator for transesophageal echocardiography probe

A robotic actuator (30) for controlling one or more actuation dials of an interventional tool handle (41) (e.g., a probe handle). The robotic actuator (30) employs a coupling of a handle base (34) and a handle cover (33) to define an actuation chamber for receiving an actuation dial of an interventi...

Summary:A robotic actuator (30) for controlling one or more actuation dials of an interventional tool handle (41) (e.g., a probe handle). The robotic actuator (30) employs a coupling of a handle base (34) and a handle cover (33) to define an actuation chamber for receiving an actuation dial of an interventional tool handle (41); and one or more motorized gears (31, 32) within the actuation chamber, the one or more motorized gears being operable to engage an actuation dial of the interventional tool handle (41) within the actuation chamber. In operation, the robotic workstation (20) generates motor instructions for controlling an actuation dial of the interventional tool handle (41), and the motorized gear (31, 32) is operatively connected to the robotic workstation (20) to control the actuation dial of the interventional tool handle (41) in response to the motor instructions generated by the robotic workstation (20). The robotic actuator (30) may also employ an actuator platform (38) for controlling lateral and/or ro
