    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.

    摘要: Featured are systems, devices and apparatuses for use in minimally invasive surgical, diagnostic or therapeutic methods and/or techniques, in particular methods and/or techniques for a mammalian throat. In particular embodiments, a dexterity apparatus including one or more dexterity devices is featured, where each of the dexterity devices comprises surgical tools and each is configured and arranged with end-tip dexterity for enhanced manipulation. A portion of the dexterity devices is snake like, which is re-configurable (i.e., can be bent) so as to in effect maneuver the surgical tool and put the tool in a desired position with respect to the surgical site. Another portion of the dexterity device includes the surgical tool thereby providing the capability of performing surgical actions such as sewing, gripping, soft tissue manipulation, cutting and suction of saliva, blood and other materials from the surgical site.

    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.
