A surgical implant planning computer is connectable to a fluoroscopy imager, a marker tracking camera, and a robot having a robot base coupled to a robot arm that is movable by motors relative to the robot base. Operations include performing a registration setup mode that determines occurrence of a first condition indicating the marker tracking camera can observe to track reflective markers that are on a fluoroscopy registration fixture of the fluoroscopy imager, and determines occurrence of a second condition indicating the marker tracking camera can observe to track dynamic reference base markers attached to the robot arm and/or an end-effector connected to the robot arm. While both of the first and second conditions occur, operations are allowed to be performed to obtain a first intra-operative fluoroscopic image of a patient along a first plane and to obtain a second intra-operative fluoroscopic image of the patient along a second plane that is orthogonal to the first plane.

20190021800 · 2019-01-24 ·

A surgical implant planning computer for intra-operative CT workflow, pre-operative CT imaging workflow, and fluoroscopic imaging workflow. A network interface is connectable to a CT image scanner and a robot surgical platform having a robot base coupled to a robot arm that is movable by motors. A CT image of a bone is received from the CT image scanner and displayed. A user's selection is received of a surgical screw from among a set of defined surgical screws. A graphical screw representing the selected surgical screw is displayed as an overlay on the CT image of the bone. Angular orientation and location of the displayed graphical screw relative to the bone in the CT image is controlled responsive to receipt of user inputs. An indication of the selected surgical screw and an angular orientation and a location of the displayed graphical screw are stored in a surgical plan data structure.

Device for automatically inserting and manipulating a medical tool into and within a bodily lumen

An assembly for driving linear movement and roll movement of an elongate surgical tool, comprising: an elongate shaft comprising a central lumen extending along the shaft long axis; the elongate shaft comprising a plurality of apertures extending across walls of the elongate shaft and into the central lumen; a set of wheels positioned opposing each other and aligned on two sides of the central lumen, the set of wheels at least partially extending through the apertures beyond the walls of the elongate shaft and into the central lumen to contact an elongate surgical tool received therein; the set of wheels being coupled to the elongate shaft and configured to rotate with the elongate shaft as a single unit when the elongate shaft is rotated about the shaft long axis.

USE OF EYE TRACKING INPUT TO INITIATE COMPUTER-VISION IDENTIFICATION OF AN OBJECT IN A SURGICAL IMAGE
20240299121 · 2024-09-12 · ·

A robotic surgical system includes an eye gaze sensing system in conjunction with a visual display of a camera image from a surgical work site. Detected gaze of a surgeon towards the display is used as input to the system. This input may be used by the system to assign an instrument to a control input device (when the user is prompted to look at the instrument), or it may be used as input to a computer vision algorithm to aid in object differentiation and seeding information, facilitating identification/differentiation of instruments, anatomical features or regions.

Robot with inner and outer belt sections

A seal belt includes inner and outer belt sections. The inner belt section revolves according to the movable member movement. The outer belt section includes, between the inner belt section and an opening, a first portion in which a first end is retained at a movable member inside section portion, the portion being closer to the opening lower end, and the remaining portion extends along the opening and is retained at a third space position, and a second portion in which a first end is retained at an inside section portion, the portion being closer to the lower end, and the remaining portion extends to a fourth space position along the opening and is retained at the fourth space position. The first portion and second portions lengths are changed in a complementary manner according to the movable member movement. The drive mechanism is surrounded by the inner belt section.
