Snake Robot Technology Market to hit $2.3 Billion by 2018 says New Report
The report ‘Snake Robots: Market Shares, Strategy, and Forecasts, Worldwide, 2012 to 2018’ states that worldwide snake robot markets are poised to achieve significant growth as the next generation units provide a unique movement mechanism and provide systems that provide a way to significantly improve traditional open surgery.
According to Susan Eustis, lead author of the study, “A confined space needs snake shapes to achieve access. Confined spaces exist by design (aircraft engine), by failure (collapsed building) or naturally (human body). Existing open surgery can be replaced in large part by robotic and minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Minimally invasive surgery MIS, drug therapies, radiation treatment, and emerging interventional surgical approaches complement robotic surgery techniques as a replacement for or complement to open surgery.”
During a robot assisted surgical procedure, the patient-side cart is positioned next to the operating table with the electromechanical arms arranged to provide access to the initial ports selected by the surgeon. Metal tubes attached to the arms are inserted through the ports, and the cutting and visualisation instruments are introduced through the tubes intothe patient’s body.The surgeon performs the procedure while sitting at a console, manipulating the instrument controls and viewing the operation through a vision system..
Snake robot device markets at $15.5 million in 2011 are anticipated to reach $2.3 billion by 2018 as next devices, systems, and instruments are introduced to manage access to difficult spaces through small ports when large openings are unavailable or inconvenient. View the Report
