    摘要: A surgical robotic system that includes a robotic arm, glove configured to be worn on a hand of a user and including a force-feedback mechanism, a tracking device, a processor, and memory. The memory includes instructions which when executed by the processor causes the system to determine that the user is performing a hand gesture with the glove to grasp a virtual user input device (UID) based on the tracking device, and in response to the user grasping the virtual UID, apply, via the force-feedback mechanism, a force upon the glove that corresponds to a physical representation of the virtual UID, and engage the robotic arm to be controlled by the virtual UID.

    摘要: A hooked surgery camera for use in surgical robotic systems includes a hook coupled to a side or end of a camera body, for attaching the camera to tissue during a surgery. The camera also includes a lens on another end of the camera body, and electronic components inside the camera body. The electronic components include a battery, a digital camera module and a wireless data transmitter. The hooked surgery camera provides a supplementary view of the surgical site, that is from a different perspective than the view provided by an endoscope, during laparoscopic surgeries. Other aspects are also described and claimed.
