In addition, the control mode of the mechanical arm is only single remote control, and the assistance of a visual algorithm is lacking; or the simple algorithm control, the accuracy and the stability are the problems to be solved. Meanwhile, the color Doppler ultrasound examination needs to find the specific angle and force of the probe on the patient to obtain a clear image, and the color Doppler ultrasound examination has no force feedback device to feed back the stress condition of the patient in real time, so that the safety is not guaranteed.
