Embodiment Construction

[0081] The present disclosure relates generally to stereoscopic visualization cameras and platforms. A stereo visualization camera may be referred to as a digital stereo microscope ("DSM"). Example cameras and platforms are configured to integrate microscope optics and video sensors into a self-contained head unit that is more self-contained than prior art microscopes such as surgical loupes 100 of FIG. 1 and surgical loupes of FIG. Surgical microscope 200) is significantly smaller, lighter, and more manoeuvrable. Example cameras are configured to transmit stereoscopic video signals to one or more television monitors, projectors, holographic devices, smart glasses, virtual reality devices, or other visual display devices within a surgical environment.

[0082] A monitor or other visual display device may be positioned in the surgical environment so as to be easily within the surgeon's line of sight while the patient is being operated on. This flexibility enables surgeons to ...

Abstract

A robotic imaging apparatus is disclosed. A robotic imaging apparatus includes a robotic arm, a stereoscopic camera, and a sensor positioned between the robotic arm and the stereoscopic camera. The sensor transmits output data that is indicative of translational and rotational force imparted on the stereoscopic camera by an operator. The robotic imaging apparatus also includes a processor that isconfigured to determine a movement sequence for the robotic arm based on a current position of the robotic arm and the output data from the sensor and to cause at least one of the joints of the robotic arm to rotate based on the determined movement sequence via one or more motor control signals provided to the at least one joint. The rotation of the at least one joint provides power-assisted movement of the robotic arm based on the detected translational and rotational forces imparted by the operator.

Description

Background technique [0001] Surgery is an art. Accomplished artists create works of art that are far beyond the reach of the average person. Using a paintbrush, the artist transforms multiple cans of paint into vivid images that evoke strong and unique emotions in the viewer. Artists take ordinary words on paper and turn them into dramatic and uplifting performances. Artists master instruments and make them make beautiful music. Similarly, surgeons use seemingly ordinary scalpels, tweezers, and probes to create life-altering biological miracles. [0002] Like artists, surgeons have their own methods and preferences. Aspiring artists are taught the basics of their craft. Beginners often follow prescribed methods. As they gain experience, confidence and knowledge, they develop their own unique craft to reflect themselves and their personal circumstances. Similarly, medical students are taught the basics of surgery. They are rigorously tested on these methods. As these s...
