SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ROBOTIC SURGERY SIMULATION

摘要

A system according to the invention may include a frame, a computer, a display, and two input devices. The frame may be adjustable, may be made from a lightweight material, and may fold for easier portability. The display and the computer may be in communication with each other and each may be attached to the frame. The display may be a binocular display, or may be a touchscreen display. Additional displays may be used. Two input devices may be used to simulate the master console of a surgical robot. The input devices may be articulated armature devices suitable for providing 3D input. The input devices may be attached to the frame in an "upside-down" configuration wherein a base of each input device is affixed to the frame such that a first joint of an arm is below the base. The input devices may be in communication with the computer and may provide positional signals to the computer. The positional signals may correspond to a position of an arm of each input device.
