Abstract
A surgical operation system includes an operation unit, a hand control unit, and a controller. In a normal operation mode, a normal operation command generator calculates a target posture of a surgical instrument based on a displacement of a handle, the displacement being detected by a detector, and generates a normal operation command to operate a wrist joint such that the surgical instrument takes the target posture. In a bendable joint operation mode, a bendable joint operation command generator generates a bendable joint operation command to change a bending angle of a bendable joint based on the displacement of the handle, the displacement being detected by the detector.
Claims6
A surgical operation system comprising:
- an instrument manipulator including a shaft, a bendable joint, a wrist joint, and a surgical instrument that are connected and arranged in this order from a proximal end portion toward a distal end portion of the instrument manipulator, the instrument manipulator further including
- a wrist joint driver that drives the wrist joint based on a normal operation command including a command that specifies a target position of the wrist joint, and
- a bendable joint driver that drives the bendable joint based on a bendable joint operation command that specifies a target bending angle of the bendable joint;
- a master console including
- a base,
- a hand control unit including a handle that is displaceable relative to the base and a detector that detects a displacement of the handle, and
- an operation mode selection inputter that receives an operation of inputting a selection command to select one operation mode from operation modes including a normal operation mode and a bendable joint operation mode;
- and
- a controller including
- an operation mode setter that sets the operation mode to the one operation mode corresponding to the selection command,
- a normal operation command generator that generates the normal operation command, and
- a bendable joint operation command generator that generates the bendable joint operation command, wherein
- in the normal operation mode, the normal operation command generator calculates a target posture of the surgical instrument based on the displacement of the handle, the displacement being detected by the detector, and generates the normal operation command to operate the wrist joint such that the surgical instrument takes the target posture, and
- in the bendable joint operation mode, the bendable joint operation command generator generates the bendable joint operation command to change the bending angle of the bendable joint based on the displacement of the handle, the displacement being detected by the detector.
