Remote surgery support system

摘要

A remote surgery supporting system and a method thereof for presenting realism control data generated by realism control data generating means 101 from image data from work environment data detecting means 104 and measurement data processing means 118 and from force and proximity data. While seeing this presentation, the surgical operator inputs actions through action command inputting means 114 and following to that, diseased tissue manipulating means 102 executes a work to a diseased part 125. Manipulation force of each surgical operator from manipulation command generating means 103 and force reflection from the diseased part 125 are combined and presented to the action command inputting means 114. Thereby, a plulality of surgical operators can perform the surgerical operation while seeing the realism control data and sensing the manipulation force of other surgical operators and the force reflection from the diseased part. Thus, a master/slave type remote surgery supporting system which allows a plurality of surgical operators to perform a surgical operation which requires many degrees of freedom can be provided.
