Surgical Robot Displacement Processing for Intuitive Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current surgical robot systems require trained surgeons to manually control surgical instruments, limiting their intelligence and efficiency in performing surgeries, as they rely on human manipulation and observation rather than intuitive user indications.
Innovation Solution
A surgical robot system and method that utilize a control system with a displacement information processing unit and a surgical instrument control unit, allowing surgical instruments to be intelligently controlled based on user indications made through a display means, minimizing user manipulation and maximizing convenience, accuracy, and speed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If surgical robot systems use manual control by trained surgeons manipulating handles and sticks, then the system can perform surgery with current technology, but the system requires extensive user manipulation and special training
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical control system (handles, sticks, foot boards) with an intuitive indication system where users can directly indicate target positions and actions through a user-friendly interface. The control system translates these indications into surgical instrument actions, eliminating the need for complex mechanical manipulation devices and extensive training.
2Productivity
If surgical robot systems require surgeons to control instruments individually while watching monitors, then the system maintains control precision, but the surgery process becomes time-consuming and less efficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system allows users to pre-specify target positions and surgical actions through intuitive indications before actual surgery execution. The control system processes these indications in advance and automatically executes the surgical operations, eliminating the need for real-time manual control during surgery and significantly reducing operation time.
3Extent of automation
If surgical robot systems enable intelligent control based on user indications, then the system reduces manipulation requirements and improves convenience, but the system requires advanced displacement information processing capabilities
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a displacement information processing unit as an intermediary between the user indication interface and the surgical instrument control system. This unit automatically processes user indications, calculates displacement information, and translates it into precise control commands, enabling intelligent automation without requiring the entire system to become overly complex.
