Abstract

A method for automatically monitoring a robot-assisted movement of a medical object through a hollow organ of a medical object of a patient performed by a robotic system is provided. The method includes tracking movement of the medical object using a medical imaging device such that the medical object and/or the hollow organ is at least partially arranged in a recording region that is mappable by the imaging device. The tracking is effected by a relative movement between the recording system of the imaging device and the patient. An image of the recording region is recorded during the tracking. In each case, a further image is recorded at regular intervals. The current image in each case and/or sensor data from a sensor assigned to the robotic system or the object is evaluated to determine whether a situation relevant to decision-making and/or safety with respect to the robotic system is present.
