Abstract:
Provision of a technology for controlling an arm to maintain hand-eye coordination is desirable in a case of using the arm for supporting an oblique-viewing endoscope.Provided is a medical support arm system including an articulated arm configured to support a scope that acquires an image of an observation target in an operation field, and a control unit configured to control the articulated arm on the basis of a relationship between a real link corresponding to a lens barrel axis of the scope and a virtual link corresponding to an optical axis of the scope.
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.
Abstract:
[Object] To make it possible to perform gravity compensation with a more compact and lightweight configuration.[Solution] There is provided a medical support arm apparatus including: an arm section including multiple joint sections, and configured such that a medical tool is provided on a front end; an actuator at least provided in a compensated joint section that is a target of gravity compensation among the joint sections, and including a torque sensor that detects a torque acting on the compensated joint section; and a gravity compensation mechanism that imparts to the compensated joint section a compensating torque in a direction that cancels out a load torque due to a self-weight of the arm section acting on the compensated joint section.
Abstract:
The present invention aims to make it capable of holding organs more safely.Provided is a medical support arm apparatus, including: an arm unit (510) whose driving is controlled by force control; and a retractor, provided on a front end of the arm unit (510), that holds an organ of a patient during surgery.
Abstract:
There is provided an image processing device including a characteristic estimation portion that, from one of image information obtained from an image sensor and information attached to the image information, estimates a characteristic of the image sensor that is used to generate the image information, and a processing portion that processes the image information in accordance with the characteristic of the image sensor estimated by the characteristic estimation portion.
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:
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:
A robot device (10) acquires object information related to an object to be gripped by the robot device including a grip unit (32) that grips an object. The robot device (10) then determines, based on operation contents executed by the robot device with the object gripped and the object information, a constraint condition when the operation contents are executed.
Abstract:
It is possible to transfer an object smoothly. An information processing device includes a control unit (12, 11) that controls a manipulator so that a moving speed of an object gripped by the manipulator maintains continuity when the object is transferred to a transfer target person.
