Abstract
The embodiments relate to a medical device and to a method for controlling a movement of the mobile medical device. The medical device includes a chassis and a control apparatus, wherein the medical device is embodied by the chassis to perform a movement in at least two spatial directions on a plane of motion and to execute a rotary movement about an axis of rotation standing perpendicularly on the plane of motion, and the control apparatus is embodied for controlling the chassis.
Claims15
A medical device comprising:
- a chassis;
- and
- a controller,
- wherein the medical device is configured by the chassis to move in at least two spatial directions on a plane of motion and to rotate about an axis of rotation perpendicular to the plane of motion, and
- wherein the controller comprises at least one control element configured to control the chassis,
- wherein the at least one control element is configured to be manually operated by an operator,
- wherein the at least one control element comprises a longitudinal axis and is configured to perform a control element rotary movement about the longitudinal axis of the at least one control element, and
- wherein the controller is configured to initiate a rotary movement of the medical device about the axis of rotation based on the control element rotary movement.
A medical device comprising:
- a chassis;
- and
- a controller,
- wherein the medical device is configured by the chassis to move in at least two spatial directions on a plane of motion and to rotate about an axis of rotation perpendicular to the plane of motion, and
- wherein the controller comprises at least one control element configured to control the chassis,
- wherein the at least one control element is configured to be manually operated by an operator,
- wherein the at least one control element is configured to perform a vertical control element movement perpendicularly to the plane of motion, and
- wherein the controller is configured to initiate a displacement of the axis of rotation of the medical device based on the vertical control element movement of the at least one control element.
A method for controlling a movement of a mobile medical device comprising a sensor unit having at least one sensor and a controller, the method comprising:
- moving the medical device from a start position to an end position;
- detecting, during the movement, pattern structures, position markers, or pattern structures and position markers in an environment of the medical device by the at least one sensor of the sensor unit;
- specifying, by the controller, a movement path for the movement of the medical device based on the detected pattern structures, position markers, or pattern structures and position markers;
- and
- moving the medical device from the end position back to the start position along the movement path.
