Abstract:
There is provided a medical support arm device including a brake provided in at least one joint of a plurality of joints that define a deployment configuration of a multi-joint arm, and configured to release a rotation shaft of the at least one joint when electricity is supplied to the multi-joint arm and lock the rotation shaft when electricity is not supplied to the multi-joint arm. When electricity is not supplied the brake is configured to exert a brake force that supports a weight of the multi-joint arm to maintain the deployment configuration of the multi-joint arm, but also permits rotation of the rotation shaft by an external manually applied force equal to or larger than a predetermined value
Abstract:
[Object] To make the vertical and horizontal directions of an endoscope image and the vertical and horizontal directions of the screen of a monitor coincide with each other without spoiling the effective region of the endoscope image.[Solution] A control device of an endoscope system according to the present disclosure includes: a scope rotation angle acquiring section that acquires a scope rotation angle, around an axis in an insertion direction, of a scope including an objective lens to be inserted in a body; and a rotation angle control section that controls a rotation angle, around an optical axis center, of an image sensor that captures an image provided by the scope, on the basis of the scope rotation angle.
Abstract:
To provide a jig holding apparatus and medical observation apparatus, which enable linear motion of a jig without increasing the size of a holding mechanism configured to hold the jig. A jig holding apparatus (1) includes: a holding mechanism (100) including a holding section (173) configured to detachably hold a predetermined jig (10) from a periphery of the jig (10), and a linear motion driving section (130) provided around the jig (10) held by the holding section (173) and configured to cause the jig (10) to linearly move.
Abstract:
A robot apparatus includes a reception arm determination unit that determines from a left arm or a right arm of a user a reception arm which is used in handing of an object; a hand location calculation unit that calculates a current location of a hand of the reception arm; and a handing operation unit that performs an object handing operation at the location of the hand of the reception arm which is calculated using the hand location calculation unit.
Abstract:
A controller according to the present disclosure includes a whole-slip detecting unit (210) that detects, based on pressure information sent from a plurality of regions having different slipping characteristics when an object in contact with the plurality of regions is slipping, a state of a whole slip in which the object is slipping on each of the plurality of regions. An occurrence timing of the whole slip is different for each of the plurality of regions, and thus a state of a partial slip in which a part of the object is slipping is able to be detected, so that it is possible to detect a slip of the object with high accuracy.
Abstract:
There is provided a medical support system including a support arm having one or more active joints and one or more passive coupling mechanisms and processing circuitry configured to obtain information indicating a change due to movement of the one or more passive coupling mechanisms and control the one or more active joints based on the obtained information indicating the change.
Abstract:
[Object] To more simply configure a joint driving actuator having a function of a brake. [Solution] A joint driving actuator according to the present disclosure includes: an ultrasonic motor configured to generate driving force for driving a joint; a torque sensor configured to detect external force applied to the joint; and an encoder configured to detect a rotational angle of the ultrasonic motor. This configuration makes it possible to more simply configure a joint driving actuator having a function of a brake.
Abstract:
To make it possible to configure a medical support arm apparatus which does not impair operability for the surgeon, and which is also compact. Provided is a medical support arm apparatus including: an arm section configured so that a medical tool is provided on a front end, and movable axes are arranged so that the arm section has at least six degrees of freedom. Among the movable axes, a movable axis provided on the front end side that prescribes an attitude of the medical tool is a passive axis that rotates by following an external force, and at least one axis provided on a base end side that prescribes a position of the medical tool is a drive axis driven by an actuator.
Abstract:
A medical support arm apparatus including: an arm unit including a plurality of links joined to each other by one or a plurality of a joint unit; and a driving control unit that drives the arm unit by controlling driving of the joint unit. If a malfunction is detected in at least one of the joint unit, the driving control unit controls the driving of the joint unit in a state in which a certain restriction is imposed on motion of the arm unit, and drives the arm unit to avoid the malfunction.
Abstract:
There is provided a control system for controlling a surgical arm device of a multi-link structure in which a plurality of links is coupled together by a joint unit in a force control mode.In generalized inverse dynamics, the control system sets a motion purpose and a constraint condition in an operation space describing an inertia of force acting on a multi-link structural body and an acceleration of the multi-link structural body, and for implementing an operation space acceleration indicating the motion purpose, calculates a virtual force acting on the operation space on the basis of a motion equation relating to the operation space including a term of an operation space bias acceleration in consideration to gravity compensation according to inclination information of the surgical arm device, and calculates a torque command value for a joint unit on the basis of a real force converted from the virtual force.
