    摘要: According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a surgical robotic system includes a robotic arm having an instrument drive unit and a surgical instrument rotatable by the instrument drive unit about an instrument axis. The system also includes a surgical console including at least one handle controller having a handle rotatable about a handle axis and configured to receive a user input for moving the surgical instrument. The system further includes a controller configured to receive the user input and to instruct the robotic arm to flip the surgical instrument in response to the user input, wherein the user input is an angle of rotation of the handle about the handle axis that is less than an angle of rotation of the surgical instrument of about 180°.

    摘要: A robotic surgical system includes a robot system, a user interface, a hand detection system, and a processing unit. The robot system includes a tool coupled to an arm. The user interface includes a handle assembly including a body portion having a proximal end portion, and a first actuator movable between open and closed positions. The hand detection system includes a first sensor disposed within the first actuator for detecting finger presence on the first actuator, a second sensor disposed on the proximal end portion for detecting palm presence about the proximal end portion, and an encoder disposed within the body portion for detecting position of the first actuator relative to the body portion. The processing unit is electrically coupled to the first, second, and third sensors for receiving and processing data from the first, second, and third sensors.

    摘要: A method for a surgeon to control a mobile cart, setup arm, or robotic arm of a surgical robotic system, which enables the surgeon to make adjustments without scrubbing into the bedside (a sterile environment) from the surgeon console (a non-sterile environment). The method also includes using analytics and intra-operative guidance to inform the surgeon how to adjust the components of the surgical robotic system to improve efficiency in preparing the system for optimal performance.
