Ottava: How might the arms work and what would set up be like

Ottava JNJs soft tissue surgical robot

I'm making a short series of videos that dig into many of the companies IP estates - be that Patents, Trademarks or other public filings. From this I'm speculating how some of their newer systems - systems in R&D may end up looking and working.

I've sat on this one for a while - it covers the older VERB patents that have recently had a facelift and some additions. And that often happens as companies reduce those patents to practice; and want to ensure they cover all the features that have emerged through the R&D phase.


The upside of this analysis is seeing way before the system is made public. The down side is it is totally hit and miss. What I mean is that you can only infer from the patents what is one possibility. But as real world physical images emerge (such as the table image) you can look to the patent diagrams and start to match up what was likely "made real.".


In this video I do that. I take all of the filed patents and then triangulate in on the real phsical product and make assumptions that "this one" has been reduced to practice and made into a real world product. It is hit and miss, but as the system is not on public release yet - this is the best I can go off. It is speculation.


Watch the YouTube video I dropped on my podcast - and see how this process works.
