摘要

In one embodiment of the invention, a method for controlling a robotic surgical tool is disclosed. The method for controlling a robotic surgical tool includes moving a monitor displaying an image of a robotic surgical tool; sensing motion of the monitor; and translating the sensed motion of the monitor into motion of the robotic surgical tool.

主权项

1. A robotic surgical system comprising:
a monitor including
a housing with a window opening;a touch sensitive display panel coupled to the housing in the window opening, the touch sensitive display panel to display images of a surgical site in the window opening and receive user input; andone or more motion sensing devices coupled to the housing, the one or more motion sensing devices to generate one or more control signals in response to motion of the monitor; an arm coupled between the monitor and a surface to support the monitor above the surface; a processor coupled to the monitor to receive the one or more control signals and the user input, the processor to digitally control the images of the surgical site displayed in the window opening by the touch sensitive display panel; and an image capturing device coupled to the processor, the image capturing device to capture the images of the surgical site for display by the touch sensitive display panel.
