MASTER INTERFACE OF SURGICAL ROBOT

摘要

PURPOSE: A master interface of a surgical robot is provided to facilitate a repetitive rotation operation of an instrument by rotating an operation wheel instead of the wrist of the operator. CONSTITUTION: An instrument(3) is mounted on a slave robot. A handle(10) is combined with the master robot. An operation wheel(20) is combined with the handle. The operation wheel is rotated around the rotation axis. A microprocessor(12) is mounted on the master robot. A processor generates a signal for driving the instrument according to the rotation of the operation wheel. A force feedback unit(22) applies the reaction force to the operation wheel for limiting the rotation of the operation wheel.
