Abstract
A Robotic control system has a wand, which emits multiple narrow beams of light, which fall on a light sensor array, or with a camera, a surface, defining the wand's changing position and attitude which a computer uses to direct relative motion of robotic tools or remote processes, such as those that are controlled by a mouse, but in three dimensions and motion compensation means and means for reducing latency.
Claims19
A hand controller for a robotic surgery system, the hand controller comprising:
- a body extending between a proximal end and a distal end;
- a first control comprising a hole configured to receive a finger, the first control configured to pivot relative to the body to generate an instruction signal for a first function of a surgical instrument;
- and
- a second control supported by a side of the body at a location between the proximal end and the distal end, the second control being actuatable by a user to generate a second instruction signal for a second function of the surgical instrument, the second function being different from the first function.
