Abstract: A medical robot system includes a robot with a movable robot arm connected to a robot base and a robot head connected to the robot arm. An end effector can be on the robot head or serve as a robot head. A control device can execute an action of the robot, in particular to control a movement of the robot and execute the movement as an action. The robot system further includes at least one touch display with a control unit. An activation button is visually displayed on the touch display. When the activation button is pressed as an input by a user, a control signal is sent to the robot control device via a signal connection to activate an action of the robot, such as a movement of the robot. The robot system can be implemented with an activation method, a computer-readable storage medium, and a computer program.

Abstract: A medical robot for actuating a medical end effector includes a base; a movable arm connected to the base with at least one arm segment; an end effector connected to the arm with an end effector axis; and a control unit adapted to control the arm. The medical robot has an input mechanism with a neutral axis adapted to detect as input at least one force applied to the input mechanism transversely to the neutral axis in at least two opposite directions and convert the input to a control command for controlling a position and/or orientation of the end effector and/or the arm segment. An axis of the input mechanism is arranged parallel to the end-effector axis and/or to a longitudinal axis of the arm segment. A surgical assistance system, a control method and a computer-readable storage medium can be used with the robot.

Abstract: A method is used for calibrating a robot camera and external camera system relative to a medical robot. The robot camera is guided on an arm. The camera system has an external camera. The method includes: moving the robot camera via the robot arm during sensing and capturing; detecting a pose of a calibration pattern and/or an external tracker, each having a transformation to a pose of the external camera, and/or detecting a pose of the external camera; determining a transformation between the robot camera and external camera, and determining a field of view; moving a flange into at least three poses in the field of view and sensing the at least three poses via the external camera, and simultaneously sensing a transformation between the robot base and the flange; and performing a hand-eye calibration. The method can be used with a surgical assistance system and computer-readable storage medium.

Abstract: A medical collaborative robot, control method, and computer-readable storage medium can be used for actuating a medical end effector during a surgical operation. The robot includes a robot base as a local connection point for the robot; a moving robotic arm connected to the robot base that has more degrees of freedom in the axis space than degrees of freedom for manipulating; an end effector connected to the robotic arm, in particular to a terminal side of the robotic arm; and a control unit adapted to control and actuate at least the robotic arm. At least one input device and/or detector is arranged on the robotic arm. The control unit, when an object is input or detected, is adapted to control the robotic arm via the control unit in such a way that when the robotic arm moves, the end effector maintains its position, in particular its pose.

Abstract: An imaging system, medical microscope, surgical light, robotic system, imaging method, and computer-readable storage medium. The imaging system creates an optimized image of a region to be imaged and includes an irradiation system. The irradiation system has at least a first and a second individually adjustable radiation emitter for individual irradiation of the region to be imaged. A camera system includes at least one camera that creates an image of the region to be imaged. An image analysis unit is adapted to analyze the image and digitally provide an analysis result. A control unit is adapted to control the irradiation system based on the analysis result and change an irradiation of the first and/or second radiation emitter in an intensity of the radiation and/or in a wavelength of the radiation to achieve an optimized irradiation for the image.
