    Abstract: A method and system for micro-force guided cooperative control that assists the operator in manipulating tissue in the direction of least resistance. A tool holder receives a surgical tool adapted to be held by a robot and a surgeon. A first sensor measures interaction forces between a tip of the surgical tool and tissue of a region of interest. A second sensor measures interaction forces between the surgeon and a handle to the surgical tool. A data processor is configured to perform an algorithm to actively guide the surgical tool by creating a bias towards a path of least resistance and limit directional tool forces of the surgical tool as a function of handle input forces and tip forces. This function offers assistance to challenging retinal membrane peeling procedures that require a surgeon to delicately delaminate fragile tissue that is susceptible to hemorrhage and tearing due to undesirable forces.

    Abstract: A method for calibrating a Fourier domain optical coherence tomography system includes receiving spectral data from an optical detector comprising a linear array of detector elements, each detector element having a position labeled n, wherein detected light was wavelength-dispersed across the linear array of detector elements; determining parameters of a preselected functional relationship between wave number, kn, corresponding to detector element n as a function of optical detector element n based on the spectral data; further receiving subsequent spectral data subsequent to the first-mentioned receiving, wherein detected light was wavelength-dispersed across the linear array of detector elements; converting the subsequent spectral data using the preselected functional relationship between wave number kn and optical detector element n to obtain converted spectral data; and performing an inverse Fourier transform of the converted spectral data to obtain a depth profile.

    Abstract: A system and method for tool exchange during surgery for cooperatively controlled robots comprises a tool holder for receiving a surgical tool adapted to be held by a robot and a surgeon, a tool holding element for constraining downward motion of the tool while allowing low force removal of the surgical tool from the holder, a first sensor for detecting if the surgical tool is docked within the tool holder, and a selector for automatically selecting different movements or actions of the tool holder to be performed based upon information detected by the first sensor. The system and method of the present invention provides an advantage to an often slow moving cooperative robot, by increasing the speed by which the tool holder may move in the direction away from the patient.
