Abstract:
Provided are a master-slave system where a master apparatus remotely operates a slave apparatus and a control method of this system.The master-slave system includes a slave apparatus that includes a temperature acquisition unit that acquires a temperature and a master apparatus that includes a presentation unit that presents the acquired temperature. The presentation unit includes a temperature change unit that is provided on the operation unit and produces a temperature change on the basis of the acquired temperature to produce a temperature change in harmony with the acquired temperature. Moreover, the master-slave system further includes a determination unit that determines a type or a characteristic of the operation target on the basis of an input temperature input by the temperature input unit and the temperature acquired by the temperature acquisition unit.
Abstract:
[Object] To enable to detect a force acting on a surgical instrument with a simpler configuration.[Solution] Provided is an information processing device including an acting force calculation unit that calculates, on a basis of a first detected value by a first force sensor provided on one side of a rod-shaped member, at least one of acting forces on a first point of action and a second point of action that differ from each other on an other side of the rod-shaped member.
Abstract:
A content transmission device for transmitting content, whose copying is controlled, includes an authentication section for performing an authentication procedure between the content transmission device and a content receiving device, a first copy-control-information processing section for processing first copy control information describing copy control information concerning the content, a second copy-control-information processing section for processing second copy control information including content information different from the first copy control information, and a content transmission section for generating and transmitting, to the content receiving device, a packet including a header including the first copy control information and the second copy control information, and a payload obtained by encrypting the content with a predetermined content key.
Abstract:
A medical instrument according to the present disclosure includes: a contact portion configured to contact body tissue; a drive unit configured to generate drive force for causing the contact portion to contact the body tissue; and a limiter mechanism configured to impose restriction on transmission of the drive force to the contact portion, in accordance with contact force of the contact portion with respect to the body tissue. This configuration makes it possible to restrict force applied to body tissue during surgery, and to reduce failure risk, with a simple configuration.
Abstract:
There is provided a medical apparatus, including medical vibration detection circuitry that is detachable from a medical instrument at an attachment position of the medical instrument in a longitudinal direction and that is configured to detect vibration generated in a distinct portion of the medical instrument, the distinct portion including at least a portion disposed toward a distal end of the medical instrument from the attachment position.
Abstract:
An operation system, a surgical system, a control device, a distortion generating body, a surgical instrument and the like for detecting a force acting on an end effector are provided.The surgical system includes an arm including one or more links, an end effector arranged at a tip end of the arm, a first distortion detecting unit that detects distortion generated in the end effector, a second distortion detecting unit that detects distortion generated in the link, and a processing unit that calculates a force acting on the end effector in a living body on the basis of detection results of the first distortion detecting unit and the second distortion detecting unit.
Abstract:
[Object] To provide a haptic presentation apparatus capable of suppressing the transmission of vibration of a vibration actuator used to present tactile sensation to a force sensor.[Solution] A haptic presentation apparatus includes: a force sensor configured to detect force input to an operation portion that is operated by a user; a vibration generating source configured to present haptic sensation or tactile sensation to the user; and a vibration damping member configured to be interposed between the force sensor and the vibration generating source.
Abstract:
An operation system that detects force acting on a forceps unit is provided. The operation system includes: an arm including one or more links; the forceps unit including: a first blade, a second blade, and a forceps pivoting unit that pivotably couples the first blade and the second blade to each other, disposed at a tip of the arm; and a first distortion detecting unit configured to detect distortion occurring in the first blade and the second blade. Both blade edge parts of the first blade and the second blade have offsets in a positive direction with respect to a predetermined reference axis defined to be parallel to a forceps long axis.
Abstract:
A grip force sensation feedback device including a first rotary member that has an outer peripheral surface including a part of a first virtual conical surface, the first rotary member being rotated around a first cone axis; a second rotary member that has an opposed surface which includes a part of a second virtual conical surface and which is opposed to the outer peripheral surface of the first rotary member, the second rotary member being rotated around a second cone axis; a wire that has both end portions connected to the second rotary member and that has a central portion wound around the first rotary member; and a driving portion that provides a force sensation feedback to a finger of a user in contact with the second rotary member by rotating the first rotary member and thereby causing a rotation of the second rotary member.
