摘要:
A master interface for a surgical robot, mounted on a master robot for controlling a slave robot, may include two or more robot arms each having a mounted surgical instrument. The master interface may include: a screen display unit configured to display an on-screen image corresponding to a picture signal inputted from a surgical endoscope; two or more arm manipulation units equipped for controlling the two or more robot arms, respectively; and a control unit configured to provide control such that the on-screen image is rotated or mirrored in a pre-designated direction according to a user manipulation, and configured to provide control such that control conditions for the robot arm are renewed to match the rotated or mirrored on-screen image. Thus, the display screen on a surgical monitor can be suitably controlled according to the intent of the surgeon, to remove the non-intuitiveness of a surgical procedure.

A master interface and a driving method for a surgical robot are disclosed. The master interface is mounted on a master robot, to manipulate a slave robot connected with the master robot, and includes: a main handle coupled to the master robot; a sub-handle coupled to the main handle; a first processor configured to generate a first signal in correspondence with user manipulation on the main handle; and a second processor configured to generate a second signal in correspondence with user manipulation on the sub-handle, where the first signal and the second signal are transmitted to the slave robot independently. As the interface for the surgical master robot includes not only the handle (main handle) for manipulating the robot arm, but also an additional controller (sub-handle) for a laparoscope, etc., the operator is able to simultaneously manipulate the laparoscope, etc., while manipulating the handle, without having to stop manipulating the handle or perform an additional action separately. The sub-handle may be detachably coupled to the main handle, so that the laparoscope, etc., may be manipulated separately by an assistant when necessary.

Provided is a trocar for a single port surgery installed on a skin puncture site of a patient to provide a pathway for insertion of a plurality of surgical instruments. The trocar includes an upper part; a plurality of inserting holes configured to be positioned on the upper part, the plurality of the surgical instruments being inserted thereto; and a lower part configured to be formed in a tubular shape to connect to the upper part, the lower part being formed in an elastic material so that the lower part is bent when being inserted into the skin puncture site and is straightened after being introduced into the skin puncture site, wherein the trocar provides an open interior space in which the inserting holes are connected with one another so that changing locations of the plurality of the surgical instruments is possible after the surgical instruments are inserted into the plurality of the inserting holes.

A surgical slave robot is disclosed. The surgical slave robot, for performing a surgical operation with a surgical instrument installed on an end portion of a robot arm, can include: a main body; a major support arm that is coupled to the main body such that the major support arm is movable along one direction; a minor support arm rotatably coupled to the major support arm; and a plurality of the robot arms rotatably coupled to the minor support arm. By coupling a twofold support arm of a major and minor support arm to a tower-shaped main body and coupling multiple robot arms to the support arms, the surgical slave robot may be constructed with a compact and slim size that occupies a small amount of space, making it possible to position the surgical robot close to the patient while providing space for the surgeon to access the patient.

A surgical instrument is disclosed. The surgical instrument, which has an effector for engaging the surgical site joined to one end and a driving part for operating the effector joined to the other end, includes: a first shaft, which has one end joined with the driving part, and which extends along a first lengthwise direction; and a second shaft, which extends along a second lengthwise direction that forms a particular angle with the first shaft, and which has one end joined with the other end of the first shaft such that the second shaft is rotatable about an axis following the second lengthwise direction. Thus, it is possible to conduct surgery using several of such surgical instruments without having the instruments obstruct one another, and the surgical instrument can be made to have different usage modes according to what length it is set to.

A surgical robot is disclosed, which includes: a handle unit; a main body connected to the handle unit; a robot arm connected to the main body and configured to operate in correspondence with a first manipulation on the handle unit; an instrument mounted on a front end of the robot arm; and a manipulation unit coupled to a far end of the instrument and configured to perform an action required for surgery in correspondence with a second manipulation on the handle unit, wherein the main body is coupled to a support unit. The surgical robot can be constructed with a simpler, slimmer structure, by having the arms of the surgical robot moved and rotated manually and having the instruments manipulated by the robot. Thus, the surgical robot can be installed in a narrow space, and the costs for manufacturing and installing the robot can be reduced. In particular, in the case of simple surgical procedures, the operator may readily manipulate the surgical robot next to the patient, for improved applicability and reliability.

A surgical instrument is disclosed that includes: a handle; a shaft coupled to the handle and extending in one direction; a bending part formed on a portion of the shaft; a driving part mounted on the handle and configured to generate a particular driving power; and a power transmission mechanism configured to transmit the driving power generated by the driving part to the bending part such that the bending part is bent. By mounting a driving part onto the surgical instrument and enabling the shaft to bend by a simple manipulation on a controller, it is possible to readily change the direction of the effector even when holding the instrument in one hand. Also, since the shaft is bent while the instrument is held, the reaction force applied on the effector when changing the direction of the effect can be felt by the user, providing a “haptic feedback”.

Disclosed are a surgical robot system using augmented reality or history information and a control method thereof. A master interface for a surgical robot is provided, where the master interface is configured to be mounted on a master robot, which is configured to control a slave robot having a robot arm. The interface includes: a screen display unit configured to display an endoscope picture corresponding to a picture signal provided from a surgical endoscope; one or more arm manipulation unit for respectively controlling the robot arm; and an augmented reality implementer unit configured to generate virtual surgical tool information according to a user manipulation on the arm manipulation unit for displaying a virtual surgical tool through the screen display unit. This makes it possible to display an actual surgical tool and a virtual surgical tool together using augmented reality and thus enables surgery in a facilitated manner.
