    摘要: A controller stores the orientations of a master tool grip and a slave surgical instrument tip upon completion of a master-slave alignment process, and enters following. During following each commanded movement of the slave surgical instrument tip from the master tool grip is processed by the controller to compensate for any alignment error between the master tool grip and the slave surgical instrument tip before following was entered. The result of this processing is that the motion of the slave surgical instrument tip intuitively corresponds to the motion of the master tool grip despite an initial swooping orientation misalignment between the master tool grip and the slave surgical instrument tip.

    摘要: A system includes a master manipulator and a controller. The controller determines, before the system enters a following mode, a relative orientation between an orientations of an axis of the master manipulator in an eye frame and a corresponding axis of a slave instrument tip in a camera frame. After the system enters the following mode, the controller determines whether an orientation misalignment between the orientations of the axis of the master manipulator and the corresponding axis of the slave instrument tip is less than or equal to a maximum permitted orientation error. When the orientation misalignment is less than or equal to the maximum permitted orientation error, the controller receives a command indicating a desired orientation of the slave instrument tip from the master manipulator and commands the system to orient the slave instrument tip based on the desired orientation of the slave instrument tip and the relative orientation.

    摘要: Implementations relate to a counterbalance mechanism including a force transformation mechanism that provides a drive ratio. In some implementations, a counterbalance apparatus includes a spring, a first tension element, a second tension element, a force transformation mechanism coupled to the spring by the first tension element and coupled to the second tension element, and a plurality of counterbalance pulleys coupled to the second tension element. At least one of the counterbalance pulleys is coupled to a load that is moveable with reference to a mechanical ground, and a force provided by the spring is modified in magnitude by the force transformation mechanism and is applied to the load via the second tension element. The force transformation mechanism includes a plurality of elements and the modification of the force is based on a drive ratio of the elements of the force transformation mechanism.
