The Surgical Assistant Workstation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Surgical Assistant Workstation (SAW) is a software development framework that can be used to develop new applications in robot-assisted surgery with augmented visualization. Robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery and micro-surgery—as presented by the da Vinci telerobotic system and the Johns Hopkins Steady Hand, respectively—can be improved by providing fully-integrated image guidance and information-enhanced intra-operative assistance to the surgical team and to the surgeon in particular. This paper describes several use case applications of the SAW framework, as well as a novel user interface library being developed to support 3D interactive menu systems and overlays for surgical guidance.

Many frameworks and packages exist for the development of robotic surgical systems. An important aspect of such packages involves the communication interfaces between various robotic devices. This paper discusses one such framework, the Surgical Assistant Workstation (SAW) developed at the Johns Hopkins University. SAW is a component-based framework, providing interfaces for the hardware and so...
متن کاملA Surgical Assistant Workstation (SAW) Application for a Teleoperated Surgical Robot System
The Surgical Assistant Workstation (SAW) modular software framework provides integrated support for robotic devices, imaging sensors, and a visualization pipeline for rapid prototyping of telesurgical research systems. Subsystems of a telesurgical system, such as the master and slave robots and the visualization engine, form a distributed environment that requires an efficient inter-process com...
متن کاملThe effect of a workstation designed for Sewing, on the neck and shoulder muscles of users
Background and Aims: Sewing is one of the occupations where the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders is high. Sewing conditions at the workstation have made them synonymous with musculoskeletal injuries in various areas of the body, particularly pain in the neck, shoulder, and upper back and even waist. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a workstation designed for tailor...
متن کاملWorkstation robotics: a pilot study of a Desktop Vocational Assistant Robot.
Rehabilitation robots are increasingly being viewed as an appropriate assistive technology interface for persons with disabilities. The Desktop Vocational Assistant Robot (DeVAR) system is a voice-controlled robotic workstation designed to enable persons with severe mobility impairments to function independently in a work environment. This study examined the overall efficacy of the DeVAR system...
متن کاملPower and Performance Analysis of PDA Architectures
As Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) usage increases, so does the demand for better performance while adhering to strict power consumption limitations. As of the time of this study, the majority of PDA usage involves user-level applications which are not yet as computationally intensive as their desktop PC workstation counterparts. Because of that, it seems inappropriate to apply common benchmar...
