Evaluation of a telerobotic system to assist surgeons in microsurgery.
A tool was developed that assists surgeons in manipulating surgical instruments more precisely than is possible manually. The tool is a telemanipulator that scales down the surgeon's hand motion and filters tremor in the motion. The signals measured from the surgeon's hand are transformed and used to drive a six-degrees-of-freedom robot to position the surgical instrument mounted on its tip. A ...
متن کاملTHUMP: an immersive haptic console for surgical simulation and training.
Telerobotic systems are revolutionizing minimally invasive surgery (MIS), giving the surgeon complete control over precise dexterous movements of tiny robotic instruments. Such 'surgery-by-wire' approaches also create unique opportunities for simulation and training, as the surgeon operates at a computer-mediated haptic console. Possible extensions include offline training in simulated environm...
متن کاملUse of a gesture user interface as a touchless image navigation system in dental surgery: Case series report
PURPOSE The purposes of this study were to develop a workstation computer that allowed intraoperative touchless control of diagnostic and surgical images by a surgeon, and to report the preliminary experience with the use of the system in a series of cases in which dental surgery was performed. MATERIALS AND METHODS A custom workstation with a new motion sensing input device (Leap Motion) was...

متن کاملSurgeon Training in Telerobotic Surgery via a Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulator
This work presents a software and hardware framework for a telerobotic surgery safety and motor skill training simulator. The aims are at providing trainees a comprehensive simulator for acquiring essential skills to perform telerobotic surgery. Existing commercial robotic surgery simulators lack features for safety training and optimal motion planning, which are critical factors in ensuring pa...
