Abstract
A foot pedal system for controlling a surgical robotic system, the foot pedal system comprising a foot pedal assembly movably coupled to a foot pedal assembly platform. The foot pedal assembly having a foot pedal base, a foot pedal pivotally coupled to the foot pedal base, and a foot pedal platform, the foot pedal base operable to slide across the foot pedal platform along an x-axis and a y-axis to an arrangement of activation positions. The foot pedal platform operable to translate and rotate with respect to the foot pedal assembly platform to any position along the foot pedal assembly platform, and the foot pedal platform is operable to engage or disengage with the foot pedal assembly platform at the any position along the foot pedal assembly platform.
Claims18
A foot pedal assembly for controlling a surgical robotic system, the foot pedal assembly comprising:
- a foot pedal base;
- a foot pedal pivotally coupled to the foot pedal base;
- and
- a foot pedal platform having a contact surface upon which the foot pedal base is positioned, the foot pedal base configured to move across the contact surface relative to a first axis, a second axis and a third axis between an arrangement of activation positions along the contact surface, the first axis and the second axis being parallel to the contact surface, and the third axis being perpendicular to the contact surface, and wherein the foot pedal base translates along the first axis and the second axis and rotates around the third axis.
A foot pedal system for controlling a surgical robotic system, the foot pedal system comprising:
- a foot pedal assembly operable to control a function of the surgical robotic system, wherein the foot pedal assembly comprises a foot pedal pivotally coupled to a foot pedal base and a foot pedal platform upon which the foot pedal base is slidably coupled;
- and
- a foot pedal assembly platform upon which the foot pedal assembly is positioned, the foot pedal platform is operable to translate and rotate along a surface of the foot pedal assembly platform to any position along the foot pedal assembly platform and control the function of the surgical robotic system at the any position.
A foot pedal system for controlling a surgical robotic system, the foot pedal system comprising:
- a foot pedal assembly having a foot pedal base, a foot pedal pivotally coupled to the foot pedal base, and a foot pedal platform, the foot pedal base operable to move relative to the foot pedal platform along an x-axis or a y-axis to an activation position to control a function of the surgical robotic system;
- and
- a foot pedal assembly platform upon which the foot pedal platform of the foot pedal assembly is positioned, the foot pedal platform operable to move relative to, and engage or disengage with, the foot pedal assembly platform at any position along the foot pedal assembly platform,
- wherein the foot pedal is operable to pivot around an axle coupled to the foot pedal base, the foot pedal base is operable to rotate with respect to the foot pedal platform around a first axis normal to the axle, and the foot pedal platform is operable to rotate with respect to the foot pedal assembly platform around a second axis normal to the axle.
