    摘要: A novel sensing system and methods for preventing damage to the cochlea during cochlear implant surgery are disclosed, using optical sensing to determine the distance of a stylet or the end of the implant itself from the interior wall of the scalar tympani. A variety of feedback methods are proposed to enable the surgeon to perform the procedure safely without damage to the basilar membrane or other delicate anatomic structures. Although a number of embodiments are disclosed, one preferred embodiment comprises a robotically manipulated end-effector.

    摘要: An ultrasound imaging system having real-time tracking and image registration includes a fiducial-marker system comprising an ultrasound transmitter structured to provide a localized ultrasound pulse at an optically observable localized spot on a body of interest. The system further includes an optical imaging system, a two-dimensional ultrasound imaging system, an optical image processing system, and an ultrasound image processing system. The ultrasound imaging system further includes a registration system configured to communicate with the optical image processing system and the ultrasound image processing system to receive information, the registration system being further configured to determine a coordinate transformation that registers the optical image with the two-dimensional ultrasound image based at least partially on information concerning the spatial locations determined for the combined ultrasound and optical fiducial marker observed in the optical image and in the two-dimensional ultrasound image.

    摘要: A surgical system provides hands-free control of at least one surgical tool includes a robot having a tool connector, a smart tool attached to the tool connector of the robot, and a feedback control system configured to communicate with the smart tool to provide feedback control of the robot. The smart tool includes a tool that has a tool shaft having a distal end and a proximal end, a strain sensor arranged at a first position along the tool shaft, at least one of a second strain sensor or a torque-force sensor arranged at a second position along the tool shaft, the second position being more towards the proximal end of the tool shaft than the first position, and a signal processor configured to communicate with the strain sensor and the at least one of the second strain sensor or the torque-force sensor to receive detection signals therefrom. The signal processor is configured to process the detection signals to determine a magnitude and position of a lateral component of a force applied to the tool shaft when the position of the applied force is between the first and second positions. The feedback system controls the robot to move in response to at least the magnitude and position of the lateral component of the force applied to the tool shaft when the position of the applied force is between the first and second positions so as to cancel the force applied to the tool shaft to thereby provide hands-free control of the at least one surgical tool.

    摘要: A cooperatively controlled robotic system includes a main robot assembly, and an arm assembly comprising a proximal end and a distal end. The arm assembly is connected to the main robot assembly at the proximal end. The system also includes a tool assembly connected to the arm assembly at the distal end, a first force sensor between the distal end of the arm assembly and the tool assembly, and a second force sensor between the proximal end of the arm assembly and the main robot assembly. The system includes a control system that is configured to determine a force applied at the first force sensor based on a force detected by the second force sensor, and to compare the determined force to a force detected by the first force sensor to detect a failure of at least one of the first and second force sensors.
