Abstract
A control device for surgical system that controls a surgical tool attached to a slave arm in accordance with manipulation input values for a position and an orientation from a remote control device, comprising a control unit that stores setting information for setting the position and the orientation of a first target portion of the surgical tool, corrects the manipulation input values in accordance with the setting information, and controls a position and an orientation of a post-correction second target portion of the surgical tool in compliance with corrected manipulation input values.
Claims11
A control device comprising:
- a controller configured to:
- store first setting information representing a spatial relationship between:
- a position and an orientation of a first target portion of a surgical tool attached to a slave arm;
- and
- a position and an orientation of a second target portion of the surgical tool attached to the slave arm;
- read a manipulation input value of the position and the orientation of the first target portion of the surgical tool, wherein the manipulation input value is input by a user from a remote control device;
- correct the manipulation input value based on the first setting information to generate a corrected manipulation input value of the position and the orientation of the second target portion of the surgical tool;
- and
- control one or more of the surgical tool and the slave arm based on the corrected manipulation input value.
A control method comprising:
