MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511115088 A) filed by Indian Institute Of Technology, Roorkee, Uttarakhand, on Nov. 21, 2025, for 'robotic one-dof needling system with real-time force and position feedback.'
Inventor(s) include Behera, Bulbul; and Joseph, Felix Orlando Maria.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure particularly relates to a robotic-assisted single-degree-of-freedom (1-DOF) needling system (100) for real-time percutaneous intervention. The system comprises a robotic actuation mechanism configured to insert a passive surgical needle (110) along a single translational axis; a force sensor (104) configured to measure three-dimensional tissue interaction forces and torques during the needle (110) advancement towards a tissue (112); a position sensor (114) configured to track real-time three-dimensional position and orientation of a needle tip of the needle (110) inside the tissue (112), and a multi-sensor integration framework configured to achieve synchronized real-time feedback by combining force sensor data with positional data on a unified platform, wherein the system (100) includes a socket-based communication layer configured to stream an output data from the force sensor online."
