Publication number: 20220061936Abstract: An endoscope is controlled by a surgical robotic system. A user input with six degrees of freedom maps to control of an endoscope by a robotic arm having a fewer number of degrees of freedom. For example, untethered user interface devices control motion of an endoscope through a series of projections from user command, to endoscope motion, and to joint motion of the robotic arm. The projection from user command to endoscope motion may project a singular angular motion from three angular motions of the user interface devices. The projection may account for the remote center of motion and/or an angular orientation of the view of the endoscope relative to a shaft of the endoscope.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2020Publication date: March 3, 2022Inventors: RENBIN ZHOU, SEUNGKOOK YUN, HAORAN YU, ELLEN KLINGBEIL, APOORV SHRIVASTAVA

Publication number: 20210378769Abstract: Various approaches to solve for inverse kinematics may be used for teleoperation of a surgical robotic system. In one approach, an iterative solver solves for the linear component of motion independently from solving for the angular component of motion. One solver may be used to solve for both together. In another approach, all limits (e.g., position, velocity, and acceleration) are handled in one solution. Where a limit is reached, the limit is used as a bound in the intermediate solution, allowing solution even where a bound is reached. In another approach, a ratio of limits of position are used to create a slow-down region near the bounds to more naturally control motion. In yet another approach, the medical-based teleoperation uses a bounded Gauss-Siedel solver, such as with successive-over-relaxation.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 9, 2020Publication date: December 9, 2021Inventors: RENBIN ZHOU, HAORAN YU, SEUNGKOOK Nia YUN, ELLEN KLINGBEIL, APOORV SHRIVASTAVA

Publication number: 20210321855Abstract: A first input coupling and a second input coupling are coupled to rotatably drive an output coupling at the same time. In one embodiment, the output coupling rotates a robotic surgery endoscope about a longitudinal axis of the output coupling. A first motor drives the first input coupling while being assisted by a second motor that is driving the second input coupling. A first compensator produces a first motor input based on a position error and in accordance with a position control law, and a second compensator produces a second motor input based on the position error and in accordance with an impedance control law. In another embodiment, the second compensator receives a measured torque of the first motor. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2021Publication date: October 21, 2021Inventors: Haoran Yu, Renbin Zhou, Sina Nia Kosari, Andrea Bajo

Publication number: 20210304637Abstract: A virtual reality system providing a virtual robotic surgical environment, and methods for using the virtual reality system, are described herein. Within the virtual reality system, various user modes enable different kinds of interactions between a user and the virtual robotic surgical environment. For example, one variation of a method for facilitating navigation of a virtual robotic surgical environment includes displaying a first-person perspective view of the virtual robotic surgical environment from a first vantage point, displaying a first window view of the virtual robotic surgical environment from a second vantage point and displaying a second window view of the virtual robotic surgical environment from a third vantage point. Additionally, in response to a user input associating the first and second window views, a trajectory between the second and third vantage points can be generated sequentially linking the first and second window views.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 2, 2021Publication date: September 30, 2021Inventors: Pablo Eduardo Garcia Kilroy, Eric Mark Johnson, Bernard Fai Kin Siu, Haoran Yu
