    摘要: A computer-assisted system includes a manipulator arm including a joint, an actuator mechanism configured to drive the joint, and a controller including a computer processor. The controller is communicatively coupled to the manipulator arm and configured with a first control mode and a second control mode. In each of the first control mode and the second control mode, the controller commands the actuator mechanism to allow an external articulation to reconfigure the manipulator arm by backdriving the joint. The first control mode is distinguished from the second control mode at least by the controller being configured to, in the first control mode, command the actuator mechanism to provide a first speed-dependent resistance in response to the joint being backdriven at a first backdriven speed above a first speed threshold. The first speed-dependent resistance opposes the joint being backdriven.

    摘要: An energy delivery system and methods for an ablation procedure may include a generator configured to generate an electrical signal having an operating frequency for an ablation operation and an ablation probe coupled to the generator and configured to receive the electrical signal from the generator. The ablation probe may include a flexible body portion including an inner conductor, an outer conductor, and a dielectric between the inner and outer conductors. The ablation probe may further include a radiating portion electrically coupled to the inner conductor, where the radiating portion is configured to radiate energy received from the electrical signal. A length of the radiating portion may be between 0.35 and 0.65 times an operating wavelength, where the operating wavelength is dependent on the operating frequency of the electrical signal.
