Abstract:
Systems and methods for remotely controlling a system using video are provided. A method in accordance the present disclosure includes detecting a video signal of an auxiliary system at a video input, wherein the video signal including images encoded with control information. The method also includes determining that the images included in the video signal include the control information. The method further includes extracting the control information from the images. Additionally, the method includes modifying operations of the system based on the control information.
Abstract:
A patient-side surgeon interface provides enhanced capabilities in using a minimally invasive, teleoperated surgical system. The patient-side surgeon interface has components within the sterile surgical field of the surgery. The components allow a surgeon to control teleoperated slave surgical instruments from within the sterile surgical field. The patient-side surgeon interface permits a surgeon to be in the sterile surgical field adjacent a patient undergoing surgery. Controlling minimally invasive slave surgical instruments from within the sterile surgical field permits minimally invasive surgery combined with direct visualization by the surgeon. The proximity to the patient allows the surgeon to control a teleoperated slave surgical instrument in tandem with controlling manually controlled instruments such as a laparoscopic instrument. Also, the surgeon, from within the sterile surgical field, can use the patient-side surgeon interface to control at least one proxy visual in proctoring another surgeon.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for endoscopic operations are described. For example, the disclosure provides an endoscopic system with an endoscope support configured to hold an endoscope. The endoscope includes a shaft and an image capturer positioned at a distal end of the shaft, the image capturer configured to capture an image. The endoscopic system further includes a cannula support configured to hold a cannula, with the image capturer being insertable through the cannula. The endoscopic system also includes a controller with a processor, the controller configured to determine a pose of a point of the endoscope based on a first location of a first point and a second location of a second point, the first point being of the endoscope and the second point being of the cannula, where the pose of the point is a pose of a frame of reference originating at the point.

Abstract:
Systems and methods for endoscopic operations are described. For example, the disclosure provides mechanisms for sensing and controlling a field of view of an endoscope by determining a pose of the field of view using a first location and a second location, and controlling the pose of the field of view by moving at least one of: the first portion and the second portion. The first location is of a first portion of the endoscope and the second location is of a second portion of the endoscope. The endoscope comprises a flexible portion disposed between the first portion and the second portion. The first and second locations are defined by a configuration, relative to the endoscope, of an endoscope support and a cannula. The endoscope support configured to support the endoscope. A shaft of the endoscope is configured to extend through the cannula.

Abstract:
A medical puncture device system includes a puncture device, a sensor, and an indicator system. The puncture device is configured to create a puncture through patient tissue and into an internal patient cavity to enable a medical tool to be inserted through the puncture into the cavity. The sensor is configured to generate a signal indicative of motion of the puncture device through the tissue into the cavity. The indicator system is operable by a controller to produce human-perceptible feedback in response to the signal generated by the sensor.
