SURGICAL ROBOT SYSTEM USING AUGMENTED REALITY, AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME

摘要

A surgical robot system using augmented reality, and a method for controlling same are disclosed. A master interface for a surgical robot, which is mounted on a master robot for controlling a slave robot having robot arms, comprises: an image display unit which displays endoscopic images corresponding to the video signal provided by a surgical endoscope; one or more arm-operating units for controlling the respective robot arms; and an augmented reality implementation unit which generates virtual surgical tool information according to the user operation performed using the arm-operating units, so as to display virtual surgical tools via the image display unit. The master interface displays both actual surgical tools and virtual surgical tools together using augmented reality to enable a surgeon to smoothly perform a surgical operation.
