    摘要: A system for tracking the position of a surgical tool manipulated by a surgical robotic system, to determine that the tool is correctly positioned and orientated. Miniature 3-D tracking cameras are mounted on the end effector of the robotic system, one viewing markers on the surgical tool, and the other markers attached to the anatomy part being operated on. The initial spatial position and orientation of the surgical tool on the surface of the anatomy part is measured, and the progress of the surgical tool into the anatomic body part is tracked using one of the miniature cameras. The cameras or sensors are close to the surgical region of interest, and all the mechanical and sensor elements necessary for the system operation are mounted within the realm of the robot. The system thus avoids interruption of communication between a remotely positioned navigation camera and the robot or patient.

    摘要: A stereoscopic video endoscope including a main body, an elongate shaft, and a video camera disposed at a distal end of the elongate shaft. The video camera including a first optical lens system and a first imaging chip, the first optical lens system and the first imaging chip being configured to acquire a first image of a structure of interest from a first perspective; and a second optical lens system and a second imaging chip, the second optical lens system and the second imaging chip being configured to acquire a second image of the structure of interest from a second perspective. The first perspective and the second perspective being offset from each other by an angle. The first imaging chip and the second imaging chip differ from each other in at least one of spatial resolution, color resolution, or spectral sensitivity.
