AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing computer-assisted surgical systems, additional instruments such as ultrasound devices are usually not integrated into the manipulator arm module, which requires surgeons to perform complex manipulations of insertable instruments to interact with target objects in the surgical space.

Method used

By detecting user intent and target object posture, the processor controls the interaction between robotic and non-robotic devices to achieve automatic positioning and manipulation of the target object.

Benefits of technology

It reduces the mental and physical workload of surgeons interacting with the target object, simplifies surgical procedures, and improves the usability of computer-assisted surgical systems.

Abstract

An example system includes a memory storing instructions and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory. The processor can be configured to execute the instructions to: detect an intent of a user of a computer-assisted surgical system to interact with a target object using a robotic instrument attached to the computer-assisted surgical system when the target object is located in a surgical space; determine a pose of the target object in the surgical space; and perform an operation with respect to the target object based on the detected intent of the user to interact with the target object and the determined pose of the target object in the surgical space.
