  • Patent number: 11116580
    Abstract: The present invention relates to computer-implemented medical method of verifying an expected deformation of an elastically deformable and actuator-adjusted medical fine-adjustment unit (1), the method comprising executing, on a processor of a computer, the steps of; —acquiring model data describing a model of the fine-adjustment unit (1), the model reflecting deformation properties of the fine-adjustment unit (1); —acquiring actuator data describing an actuator position of at least one actuator coupled to the fine-adjustment unit (1); —determining, based on the model data and the actuator data, target deformation data describing a target deformation of the fine-adjustment unit (1) caused by the at least one actuator at said actuator position; —acquiring actual deformation data describing an actual deformation of the fine-adjustment unit (1) caused by the at least one actuator at said actuator position; —determining, based on the target deformation data and the actual deformation data, verification data descr

  • Patent number: 10603120
    Abstract: Disclosed is a medical data processing method for determining control data for an automated movement of a robotic system (1) to move a tool operatively associated with the robotic system (1), wherein the method comprises executing, on at least one processor of at least one computer (4), steps of: a) acquiring (S1) image data describing an image of an anatomical structure of a patient; b) determining (S2) planned position data, based on the image data, describing at least one planned position of the tool relative to the anatomical structure of the patient; c) acquiring (S3) status change data describing the change of data a status of the robotic system (1) from a first status to a second status, wherein in the first status a manual movement of at least one part of the robotic system (1) is allowed and in the second status a manual movement of the at least one part of the robotic system is inhibited; d) acquiring (S4) actual position data describing the actual position of an element of the statue change data ro
