Abstract
Provided is a multi-segment rotation robotic arm which contains a plurality of concatenated robotic arm segments which can rotate 360 degrees along an adjacent oblique section thereof. Any one of the concatenated robotic arm segments of the multi-segment rotation robotic arm can be arbitrarily concatenate in accordance with use requirements. When the concatenated robotic arm segments rotate relatively, they can rotate 360 degrees without affecting the electric supply, and can also reduce the volume increase by rotated joints. Therefore, the multi-segment rotation robotic arm of the present invention can effectively adapt to complex and tortuous spaces in the body cavity to reduce the possibility of expanding the opening of the minimally invasive surgery and causing damage to organs or tissues in the body cavity.
