Surgery navigation hinges on two components: the precision of NOKOV optical motion capture cameras and surgical instruments equipped with navigation markers. The motion capture cameras meticulously track the three-dimensional positions of these markers, providing surgeons with real-time spatial coordinates and orientation data. Integrating this information with preoperative imaging, surgeons gain enhanced visualization for navigational guidance.

Solutions for Advanced Medical Applications
-
• In the realm of Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS), precision is paramount. Surgical instruments navigate tight spaces, making their way to the target site within the human body. While traditional methods and robot-assisted surgeries like the da Vinci Surgical System have served us well, they sometimes face limitations in flexibility and operational precision
-
• Enter continuum robots—featuring a structure capable of continuous bending, they can adeptly maneuver around obstacles, emerging as an excellent choice for MIS. NOKOV's motion capture technology plays a vital role in the development of these robots by:
-
• Creating dynamic models, analyzing modal frequencies, and assessing vibration modes for elastic material structures.
-
• Capturing the trajectory of continuum robots to serve as a reference, allowing for accurate performance evaluation against planned paths.
