Abstract:
A robot system for assisting a patient in standing up and/or sitting down is provided. The robot system includes the following elements. A drive mechanism executes a drive pattern for assisting the patient in standing up and/or sitting down. An instruction input device receives an instruction to cause the drive mechanism to execute the drive pattern. A state acquirer acquires an execution state of the drive mechanism which is executing the drive pattern. A controller decides whether or not to cause the drive mechanism to execute the instruction received by the instruction input device, on the basis of the execution state acquired by the state acquirer, and controls the driving of the drive mechanism.
Abstract:
A master apparatus for a master slave apparatus, the master apparatus controlling a slave apparatus, the master apparatus including a hand operation mechanism configured to be operated by a person for opening and closing a hand mechanism including a pair of opening and closing members, the hand mechanism being connected to a slave mechanism, the slave apparatus including the slave mechanism and the hand mechanism. The hand operation mechanism includes a fixed unit, an opening and closing operation unit, and a slide unit. The opening and closing operation unit is connected to the slide unit, is capable of reciprocating with respect to the fixed unit, and is openable and closable with respect to the fixed unit. The master hand controlling device controls opening and closing of the pair of opening and closing members on the basis of an opening and closing amount of the opening and closing operation unit.
Abstract:
A first angle acquiring unit acquires a rotational angle of a characteristic portion in a predetermined region on an inlet side of an insertion member of a linear body extending through the insertion member. From an image of the linear body inserted into a body of a subject, a second angle acquiring unit acquires a direction of a curved portion of the linear body inserted into the body of the subject and then acquires a rotational angle of a distal end of the linear body. A torque calculation unit calculates a torque based on a difference between the rotational angle in the predetermined region acquired by the first angle acquiring unit and the rotational angle of the distal end of the linear body acquired by the second angle acquiring unit.
Abstract:
A control apparatus for a master-slave robot includes a force correction section detecting unit that detects a section at which force information from at least one of force information and speed information is corrected, and a force correcting unit that corrects the force information at a section detected as a force correction section by the force correction section detecting unit. A small external force applied to a slave manipulator is magnified and transmitted to a master manipulator, or an excessive manipulation force applied to the master manipulator is reduced and transmitted to the slave manipulator.
