Surgical Systems User Interface TRIZ Cases
- Endoscope Bending CG View Alignment for Intuitive Manipulation
A virtual camera rotates with endoscope bending to align CG and imaging directions, improving intuitive remote manipulation.
- Surgical Visualization Display for Real-Time 3D Site Guidance
Real-time 2D, 3D, and holographic views with position sensing help surgeons guide inserts while reducing direct surgical exposure.
- Catheter Visual Markings for Real-Time Orientation Indication
Asymmetric shaft markings help clinicians distinguish catheter pitch and yaw in endoscopic images for more intuitive robotic navigation.
- Robotic Disc Prosthesis Implantation With Repeatable Vertebral Positioning
A robotic arm uses 3D vertebral models to return trials, cutters, and implants to the same position, cutting surgery time and radiation exposure.
- Master Controller UI With Haptic Feedback for Surgical Teleoperation
Haptic feedback and constrained master-controller motion improve GUI precision in teleoperated surgery while reducing false clicks during 3D-to-2D transitions.
- Flexible Medical Instrument Shape Sensing for Buckling Detection
Shape sensors compare a flexible medical instrument’s measured section with its expected shape to detect buckling and support trajectory control.
- Robotic Catheter Virtual Guidance for Instinctive Navigation
Virtual catheter indicators show articulation direction and amount, helping operators navigate anatomy instinctively while correcting catheter roll and twist.
