FOOT PEDAL ASSEMBLIES WITH INDICATORS FOR ROBOTIC MEDICAL SYSTEMS
20210205040 · 2021-07-08 ·

A medical system can include a foot pedal assembly that includes one or more pedals configured to be foot operated for controlling various function of the system. A dynamic indicator can be associated with a first pedal of the one or more pedals. The dynamic indicator can be configured to provide a first indication when the medical system is in a first state, and provide a second indication when the medical system is in a second state. The system can further be configured to determine a state of the medical system, cause the dynamic indicator to provide the first indication in response to the determined state comprising the first state, and cause the dynamic indicator to provide the second indication in response to the determined state comprising the second state.

Surgical robotic system having anthropometry-based user console

Surgical robotic systems including a user console for controlling a robotic arm or a surgical robotic tool are described. The user console includes components designed to automatically adapt to anthropometric characteristics of a user. A processor of the surgical robotic system is configured to receive anthropometric inputs corresponding to the anthropometric characteristics and to generate an initial console configuration of the user console based on the inputs using a machine learning model. Actuators automatically adjust a seat, a display, or one or more pedals of the user console to the initial console configuration. The initial console configuration establishes a comfortable relative position between the user and the console components. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

MEDICAL HANDLING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A HANDLING DEVICE

A medical handling device comprises an instrument holder for holding an observation instrument that is equipped with an image capturing unit for capturing an image section. The handling device further comprises a robotic handling unit that supports the instrument holder and a control device that comprises a handling control unit for controlling the robotic handling unit and an instrument control unit for controlling the observation instrument. An input device is coupled to the control device for selecting an image section to be reproduced. The control device is adapted to control the robotic handling unit in response to user inputs at the input device to change the captured image section. The control device is adapted to convert operating commands at the input device into movement instructions, depending on a present orientation of the image capturing unit.

User selection of robotic system operating modes using mode distinguishing operator actions

A robotic system has a plurality of user selectable operating modes. To select one of the operating modes, a user performs a distinguishing action which uniquely identifies a desired operating mode among the plurality of user selectable operating modes. A method implemented by a processor in the robotic system identifies the distinguishing action and places the robotic system in the user selected operating mode.
