Abstract: A system configured to control an endoscope probe either in manual mode or in robotic mode. The system comprises: a handle at a proximal end of the probe; a handheld controller attachable to the handle; and a robotic controller in communication with the handle and/or the handheld controller. The handheld controller includes separate controls for the manual and robotic modes. In manual mode, the handheld controller combined with the handle and the probe is used to manually control insertion and actuation of the probe into a first location of a lumen. In robotic mode, the handheld controller is removed from the handle, and the robotic controller controls handle to robotically navigate the probe to a second location within the lumen. Attachment and detachment of handheld controller to the handle is such that only certain controls appropriate to a particular portion of a workflow are accessible to the user.

Abstract: A packaging assembly for storing a steerable catheter ready for connection with a robotic system, comprises: a packaging enclosure and an alignment member configured to hold the steerable catheter in a predetermined shape. The alignment member is a carrier tube configured to align one end of the steerable catheter for connection with an actuator unit. The package and the alignment member are designed such that the steerable catheter can be connected to the actuator unit without changing the predetermined shape and while the catheter is still in the package. A robotic system is configured to connect to the steerable catheter included in the packaging assembly. The robotic system completes an initialization process to set acceptor parts of the actuator unit to a position corresponding to the predetermined shape in which the catheter is packaged.

Abstract: A dual endoscope system, comprising: a main endoscope having a first tubular shaft extending between proximal and distal ends; a secondary endoscope having a second tubular shaft with a distal portion bent with respect to the main endoscope; and a display device to display an image received from the main endoscope and/or the secondary endoscope. The main and secondary endoscopes are joined together along a length of the first and second tubular shafts and are configured to be simultaneously inserted into a lumen. The main endoscope is arranged to acquire a first image of a field of view inside the lumen, and the secondary endoscope is arranged to acquire a second image at an angle to the field of view. The display device displays the first image acquired by main endoscope and a graphic object depicting position and/or orientation of the secondary endoscope with respect to the main endoscope.

Abstract: A control system controls an endoscope probe in manual mode or robot mode. The system comprises a handle attached to the probe; a portable display controller connectable to the handle; a robotic controller in communication with the handle and/or the portable display controller; and a support platform to which the probe and the portable device controller are attachable according to control mode. In manual mode, the handle is detached from the platform and connected to the portable display controller such that the probe is manually navigated to a first position inside a lumen. In robot mode, the handle is attached to the platform such that the robotic controller cooperates with the handle to robotically navigate the probe to a second position inside the lumen. The portable display controller includes a control section for manipulating the probe and a display section for displaying images of the lumen acquired in both modes.
