Abstract
Graphical user guidance for a robotic surgical system is provided. In one embodiment, a graphical user interface for a robotic surgical system comprises a first region and a second region. The first region is used to display an endoscopic view of a surgical site inside a patient taken by an endoscopic camera of the robotic surgical system, and the second region is used to display user feedback information. The graphical user interface overlays a guidance message on top of the endoscopic view of the surgical site in the first region to provide user instructions for interacting with a user input device to engage a robotic arm of the robotic surgical system. Other embodiments are provided.
Claims16
A robotic surgical system comprising:
- a robotic surgical instrument;
- one or more handheld user input devices configured for control of a robotic arm connected with the robotic surgical instrument;
- a display device;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- display, in a first region of the display device, a view of a surgical site inside a patient taken by an image capture device of the robotic surgical system;
- and
- display, in a second region of the display device, user feedback information about control of the robotic arm in response to the handheld user input devices;
- wherein the processor is further configured to overlay a guidance message on top of the view of the surgical site in the first region, wherein the guidance message provides user instructions for interacting with the one or more handheld user input devices to engage the robotic surgical instrument, and wherein only guidance messages are overlaid on top of the view of the surgical site.
A robotic surgical system comprising:
- a display device for displaying a graphical user interface, wherein the graphical user interface comprises a first region displaying a view of a surgical site with a surgical instrument inside a patient taken by an endoscopic camera of the robotic surgical system and a second region;
- and
- a processor configured to cause display of user feedback information about control of a robotic arm or the surgical instrument in response to a user input device in the second region and overlay a guidance message on top of the view of the surgical site in the first region, wherein the guidance message provides user instructions for interacting with the user input device to engage a robotic arm connected with the surgical instrument of the robotic surgical system.
