Abstract

See full text

A system is used for robotically controlling movement of a human-controllable catheter, wherein the catheter has at least one position sensor for generating or receiving signals used for determining six dimensions of location and orientation information. The system uses a robotic control mechanism and a computer for driving the robotic control mechanism to (i) translationally move the catheter distal end in a vicinity of a target, (ii) deflect the distal end of the catheter, and (iii) rotate the catheter. The computer determines roll of the catheter using six dimensions of location and orientation information based on signals generated or received from the at least one position sensor.
