Abstract
A virtual model a planned instrument attachment can be provided to ensure correct selection of a physical instrument attachment. An XR headset controller can generate a shape and a pose of the virtual model of the planned instrument attachment based on predetermined information associated with the planned instrument attachment and based on a pose of an instrument relative to the XR headset. An XR headset can display the virtual model on a see-through display screen of the XR headset that is configured to allow at least a portion of a real-world scene to pass therethrough.
Claims20
A surgical system comprising:
- an extended reality (“XR”) headset configured to be worn by a user during a surgical procedure and including a see-through display screen configured to display a virtual model of a planned instrument attachment and to allow at least a portion of a real-world scene to pass therethrough for viewing by the user, the real-world scene including an instrument;
- an XR headset controller configured to generate a shape and a pose of the virtual model of the planned instrument attachment based on predetermined information associated with the planned instrument attachment and based on a pose of the instrument relative to the XR headset;
- and
- a surgical robot including:
- a robot base,
- a robot arm connected to the robot base and configured to position an end effector which is configured to guide movement of the instrument,
- at least one motor operatively connected to move the robot arm relative to the robot base.
