Definitions
- This description generally relates to surgical robotics, and particularly to a surgical wrist with active tensioning.
- Robotic technologies have a range of applications.
- robotic arms help complete tasks that a human would normally perform.
- factories use robotic arms to manufacture automobiles and consumer electronics products.
- scientific facilities use robotic arms to automate laboratory procedures such as transporting
- microplates have started using robotic arms to help perform surgical procedures. For instance, physicians use robotic arms to control surgical instruments such as laparoscopes.
- Laparoscopes with movable tips help perform surgical procedures in a minimally invasive manner.
- a movable tip can be directed through the abdominal wall to a more remote location of a patient, such as the intestines or stomach.
- the movable tips in a robotically controlled laparoscope have several degrees of freedom that mimic a surgeon's wrist in traditional surgical operations.
- These movable tips also referred as a robotic wrist or simply as a wrist, have evolved with technology and encompass a variety of technologies for creating motion about as many degrees of freedom as possible while using a minimal number of motors the surgical instrument.
- This description relates to a robotic surgical wrist with three degrees of freedom (DOF) that maintains the length and tension of the cables that control those DOF throughout the surgical operation.
- DOF degrees of freedom
- the surgical robotic system controlling the wrist uses a master / slave system in which a master device controls motion of a slave device at a remote location.
- the slave device is a robotic surgical instrument that approximates a classical surgical tool for a surgical operation, e.g. a forceps in a laparoscopy.
- the slave surgical instrument has a surgical effector for performing surgical operations at a surgical site with three degrees of freedom in motion, a pitch angle, a first yaw angle, and a second yaw angle. Additionally, the surgical effector has a 'fourth degree of freedom' which is a measure of the relative yaw angles and the tension of their respective cables in the surgical effector. The surgical effector also a translation degree of freedom along an operation axis controlled by an external arm and a rotation degree of freedom about the operation axis controlled by an external instrument device manipulator.
- the surgical instrument has a set of four input controllers, four cables, a reciprocal pantograph, a cable shaft, and a surgical effector.
- Two of the cables couple two pairs of input controllers via the surgical effector such that their actuation, e.g. spooling or unspooling, manipulates the length of the cable's segment to create motion of the surgical effector about the degrees of freedom.
- the other two cables couple the two pairs of input controllers to the reciprocal pantograph such that the actuation creating motion of the surgical effectors creates a reciprocal motion in the reciprocal pantograph.
- the reciprocal pantograph maintains a constant length of cable between each pair of input controllers by rotating the reciprocal pantograph.
- the surgical wrist may be controlled by a computer program designed to interpret motions of a user into surgical operations at the surgical site.
- This computer program interprets user motion and creates a set of instructions for appropriately manipulating the four cables via spooling and unspooling the input controllers to translate the user motion to motion of the surgical effector.

- FIG.1 illustrates an example representation of a master / slave surgical robotic system 100 consisting of a master device 110 and a slave device 150.
- the master device is a command console for a surgical robotic system 100.
- the master device 110 includes a console base 112, display modules 114, e.g., monitors, and control modules, e.g., a keyboard 116 and joystick 118.
- display modules 114 e.g., monitors, and control modules, e.g., a keyboard 116 and joystick 118.
- one or more of the master device 110 functionality may be integrated into the slave device 150 of the surgical robotic system 100 or another system communicatively coupled to the surgical robotic system 100.
- a user 120 e.g., a physician, remotely controls the surgical robotic system 100 from an ergonomic position using the master device 110.
- the slave device 150 has a table base 152 to support a surgical table 154 upon which a patient 156 is positioned for a surgical procedure at a surgical site 158.
- the table base 152 and the surgical table 154 may include motors, actuators, or other mechanical or electrical means for changing the orientation of the surgical table.
- the table base 152 and the surgical table 154 may be configured to change the orientation of the patient 156 and the surgical table for different types of surgical procedures at different surgical sites.
- the slave device 150 may include a central processing unit, a memory unit, a data bus, and associated data communication ports that are responsible for interpreting and processing signals such as camera imagery and tracking sensor data, e.g., from the robotic manipulators.
- the console base 112 may include a central processing unit, a memory unit, a data bus, and associated data communication ports that are responsible for interpreting and processing signals such as camera imagery and tracking sensor data, e.g., from the slave device. In some embodiments, both the console base 112 and the slave device 150 perform signal processing for load-balancing.
- the console base 112 may also process commands and instructions provided by the user 120 through the control modules 116 and 118.
- the control modules may include other devices, for example, computer mice, trackpads, trackballs, control pads, video game controllers, and sensors (e.g., motion sensors or cameras) that capture hand gestures and finger gestures.
- the user 120 can control a surgical effector 164 coupled to the slave device 150 using the master device 110 in a velocity mode or position control mode.
- velocity mode the user 120 directly controls pitch and yaw motion of the surgical instrument based on direct manual control using the control modules.
- movement on the joystick 118 may be mapped to yaw and pitch movement of the surgical effectors 164.
- the joystick 118 can provide haptic feedback to the user 120.
- the joystick 118 vibrates to indicate that the surgical effectors 164 cannot further translate or rotate in a certain direction.
- the command console 112 can also provide visual feedback (e.g., pop-up messages) and/or audio feedback (e.g., beeping) to indicate that the surgical effectors 164 have reached maximum translation or rotation.
- the command console 112 uses a three-dimensional (3D) map of a patient and pre-determined computer models of the patient to control the slave device 150.
- the command console 112 provides control signals to robotic arms 160 of the surgical robotic system 100 to manipulate the surgical effectors to the surgical site 158. Due to the reliance on the 3D map, position control mode requires accurate mapping of the anatomy of the patient.
- users 120 can manually manipulate robotic arms 160 of the surgical robotic system 100 without using the master device 110.
- the users 120 may move the robotic arms 160, surgical effectors 164, and other surgical equipment to access a patient.
- the surgical robotic system 100 may rely on force feedback and inertia control from the users 120 to determine appropriate configuration of the robotic arms 160 and equipment.
- the display modules 114 may include electronic monitors, virtual reality viewing devices, e.g., goggles or glasses, and/or other means of display devices.
- virtual reality viewing devices e.g., goggles or glasses
- other means of display devices e.g.
- the display modules 114 are integrated with the control modules, for example, as a tablet device with a touchscreen. Further, the user 120 can both view data and input commands to the surgical robotic system 100 using the integrated display modules 114 and control modules.
- the display modules 114 can display 3D images using a stereoscopic device, e.g., a visor or goggle.
- the 3D images provide a "surgical view,” which is a computer 3D model illustrating the anatomy of a patient at the surgical site 158.
- the "surgical view” provides a virtual environment of the patient's interior and an expected location of the surgical effectors 164 inside the patient.
- a user 120 compares the "surgical view” model to actual images captured by a camera to help mentally orient and confirm that the surgical effectors 164 are in the correct— or approximately correct— location within the patient.
- the "surgical view” provides information about anatomical structures, e.g., the shape of an intestine or colon of the patient, around the surgical site.
- the display modules 114 can simultaneously display the 3D model and computerized tomography (CT) scans of the anatomy at the surgical site. Further, the display modules 114 may overlay pre-determined optimal navigation paths of the surgical effectors 164 on the 3D model and CT scans.
- CT computerized tomography
- a model of the surgical effectors is displayed with the 3D models to help indicate a status of a surgical procedure. For example, scans identify a region in the anatomy where a suture may be necessary.
- the display modules 114 may show a reference image captured by the surgical effectors 164 corresponding to the current location of the surgical effectors at the surgical site 158.
- the display modules 202 may automatically display different views of the model of the endoscope depending on user settings and a particular surgical procedure. For example, the display modules 202 show an overhead fluoroscopic view of the surgical end effector during a navigation step as the surgical end effector approaches an operative region of a patient.
- FIG. 2 illustrates a slave robotic device 200 from a surgical robotic system 100 according to one embodiment.
- the slave device 200 includes a slave base 202 coupled to one or more robotic arms, e.g., robotic arm 204.

- the slave base 202 may be coupled to a surgical operating table for supporting the patient.
- the slave base 202 may include subsystems such as control electronics, pneumatics, power sources, optical sources, and the like.
- the robotic arm 204 includes multiple arm segments 206 coupled at joints 208, which provides the robotic arm 202 multiple degrees of freedom.
- the slave base 202 may contain a source of power 210, pneumatic pressure 212, and control and sensor electronics 214— including components such as a central processing unit, data bus, control circuitry, and memory— and related actuators such as motors to move the robotic arm 204.
- the electronics 214 in the slave base 202 may also process and transmit control signals communicated from the command console.
- the slave base 202 includes wheels 216 to transport the slave robotic device 150.
- Mobility of the slave robotic device 150 helps accommodate space constraints in a surgical operating room as well as facilitate appropriate positioning and movement of surgical equipment. Further, the mobility allows the robotic arms 204 to be configured such that the robotic arms 204 do not interfere with the patient, physician, anesthesiologist, or any other equipment. During procedures, a user may control the robotic arms 204 using control devices such as the master device.

In some embodiments, there is no connective through-hole for coupling the support bracket to the mounting bracket. In other embodiments, there is no mounting bracket and the support bracket directly couples to the IDM.
- One face of the support base hereafter the coupling face 514, acts as a support structure for the input controllers 520, the guidance pulleys 530, and the reciprocal pantograph 540.
- the opposite face of the support base 510 hereafter the operation face 516 (not visibly shown), acts as a support structure for the cable shaft 420.
- an operative through-hole 518 through the support base 510 from the coupling face 514 to the operation face 516 along the operation axis 430 for coupling the input controllers 520 to the surgical effectors 440 via the cable shaft 420.
- the operative through-hole 518 has a diameter large enough to allow at least four cable 560 segments to pass unimpeded through the support base 510 from the coupling face 514 to the operation face 516.
- each guidance pulley 530 is orthogonal to the plane of the coupling face 514, with the plane of a pulley is the plane of pulley's disc.

- the guidance pulleys 530 are coupled to the support base 510 and configured to rotate about a central guidance axis coplanar to the plane of the support base 510.
- the guidance pulleys 530 are connected to the support base 510 via bearings.
- the guidance pulleys allow cables 560 to move through the operative through-hole 518 without tangling with one another or chaffing against the edge of the operative through- hole.
- the rays from the operation axis 430 outwards along the plane of the guidance pulleys create a set of four cable axes 550, two outer axes 550a, 550d and two inner axes 550b, 532c .
- the guidance pulleys 530 are positioned such that the outer cable axes 550a, 550d form a line along the support bracket diameter, the angle between an outer cable axis (e.g. 550a) and the nearest inner cable axis (e.g. 550b) is a non-zero angle between 0 and 90 degrees, an example of which is illustrated in FIG. 5 as being approximately 60 degrees. Similarly, the angle between two inner cable axes (e.g. 550b and 550c) is an angle between 0 and 90 degrees, an example of which is illustrated as approximately 60 degrees.
- the cable shaft 420 couples the surgical effector 440 to the support bracket 410 allowing control of the surgical effector by the slave base via the robotic arm and the IDM.
- the cable shaft is a long hollow cylinder with an action end and a driver end, the action end coupling to the surgical effector 440 and the driver end coupling to the operation face 516 of the support bracket 510.
- the cable shaft is coupled to the support bracket 510 such that the cable shaft 420 extends orthogonally from the support bracket along the operation axis 430.
- the cable shaft 420 houses the cables 560 which couple the input controllers 520 to the surgical effector 440.
- Two outer input controllers 520a, 520d and two inner input controllers 520b, 520c are coupled to the support base and extend orthogonally outwards from the coupling face 514.
- the input controllers 520 are positioned along a concentric half ring about the operation axis 430 with each input controller radially equidistant from the operation axis along one of the cable axes 550.
- the input controllers 520 may be a similarly shaped to an inverted tiered cylindrical pyramid, with cylinders of increasing radii coupled atop one another.
- the coupled cylinders of the input controllers 520 are centrally aligned along a spooling axis 556 associated with that particular input controller that is orthogonal to the coupling face 514 and parallel to the operation axis 430.
- the input controllers are positioned such that the two spooling axes 556 of the outer input controllers 520a, 520d form a form a line along the diameter of the support bracket similarly to the two outer cable axes, and forming similar angles with their closest respective inner input controllers with respect to the operation axis 430 accordingly.
- the two inner input controllers similarly are located at an angle with respect to each other similarly to the two inner cable axes, as described above.
- the support base 510 contains four circularly shaped rotary joints 570.
- the rotary joints 570 are configured to allow each input controller to rotate about its spooling axis, such as 556.
- the rotary joints 570 are formed such that the top of each rotary joint is substantially flush to or slightly recessed from the coupling face 514 of the support base 510.
- the rotary joints 570 are similarly positioned to the input controllers 520 with each input controller coupled to the center of a rotary joint such that the rotation axis of the rotary joint is coaxial with the spooling axis 556 of the associated input controller.
- the rotary joint is a bearing.
- the support bracket is further coupled to the mounting bracket 450 via the input controllers.
- the mounting bracket couples to the input controllers such that the top of the input controllers pass through the mounting bracket and the top of the input controllers are substantially flush with the top of the mounting bracket.

- the input controllers 520 and mounting bracket 450 are configured to be coupled to the IDM and actuate the cables 560 to control motion of the surgical effector 440, described in detail in later sections.
- the cables 560 are coupled to the input controllers 520 such that the cables are at least partially wrapped around the input controllers and may spool or unspool around controllers as they rotate about the spooling axis. Each input controller is coupled to a single cable.
- the reciprocal pantograph 540 is a physical structure containing multiple physical components that is named as such because it is configured to move in a reciprocal manner to the surgical effector, discussed in sections X and XI.
- the reciprocal pantograph allows the surgical instrument as a whole, the wrist specifically, and the cables within more specifically, to be length conservative.
- the cables are tightened using traditional techniques such as a fixed clamp or spooling around a cylinder, which is subject to becoming loose (less tensioned) over time through normal wear and tear. While cable wear may cause a change in the overall length of the cable, this change is compensated for by the IDM, robotic arm, and controlling computer to maintain a length conservative system.
- the reciprocal pantograph is further configured to maintain the length of the cables in the surgical instrument when not being controlled by the input controllers and IDM, for example when the surgical instrument is detached from the slave surgical device.
- the reciprocal pantograph has two modes of operation: attached mode, in which the surgical instrument is attached to the IDM and robotic arm such that the IDM and robotic arm are able to actuate the input controllers and control the motion of the surgical effectors; and detached mode, in which the surgical instrument is detached from the IDM and robotic arm such that the reciprocal pantograph and input controllers passively maintain the length of the surgical cables of the surgical effector, thereby preventing it from coming loose/falling off.
- the reciprocal pantograph 540 is coupled to the support base 510 on the half of the coupling face 514 opposite the inner input controllers 524.
- the reciprocal pantograph 540 shown with an expanded view in FIG. 6, includes two coupled differentials, a rotation shaft, and an armature.
- the rotation shaft extends orthogonally outward from the coupling face 514 with the central axis of the rotation shaft, hereafter reciprocal axis 558, being parallel to the operation axis 430.
- the rotation shaft is positioned a radial distance away from the operation axis 430.
- the angle between an outer spooling axis 556, the operation axis 430, and the reciprocal axis 558 is approximately 90 degrees, though in other embodiments it may be at a different angle.
- FIG. 6A is an isometric view of the example reciprocal pantograph 540.
- the reciprocal pantograph consists of an armature 620 coupling two differentials 610a and 610b.
- the first differential 610a couples of a pair of pulleys, the first pulley being a reciprocal wrist pulley 612a with two grooves and the second pulley being a reciprocal member pulley 614a with one groove.
- the second differential 610b is similarly constructed with a wrist pulley 612b and a member pulley 614b.
- the reciprocal wrist pulleys 612a and 612b may comprise two separate coaxial single groove pulleys or a single pulley with a single groove large enough to allow for two cables.
- the armature 620 couples the first differential 610a couples of a pair of pulleys, the first pulley being a reciprocal wrist pulley 612a with two grooves and the second pulley being a reciprocal member pull
- the armature 620 couples the reciprocal member pulleys 614a and 614b of each differential an equal distance from the reciprocal wrist pulleys 612a and 612b.
- the armature 620 further couples the reciprocal member pulleys 614a and 614b such that they are located a non-zero angle apart from each other about the reciprocal axis 558.
- the reciprocal member pulleys 612 are a dissimilar distance away from the reciprocal wrist pulleys 614.
- the reciprocal member pulleys 614 are rotated about a tensile axis 630, the tensile axis forming an acute angle to the reciprocal axis 558. VIII-B. RECIPROCAL PANTOGRAPH CABLING
- the reciprocal wrist pulley 612 and reciprocal member pulley 614 are further coupled by a cable 560.
- the cable may be described as having an inbound segment 616a and an outbound segment 616b, with the inbound segment extending from the reciprocal axis 558 towards the tensile axis 630 and the outbound segment extending from the tensile axis toward the reciprocal axis.
- the segment definitions are arbitrary, and are defined here for sake of clarity relative to the pulleys, rather than being at fixed locations on the cables themselves.
- the cable at least partially loops around the reciprocal wrist pulley 612 in its first groove.
- the cable then at least partially loops around the reciprocal member pulley 614, coupling the reciprocal member pulley to the reciprocal wrist pulley 612 transitioning to the outbound segment.
- the cable On the outbound segment 616b, the cable then further at least partially loops around the reciprocal member pulley 614, thereby reverses the direction of the cable after which it is directed away from the tensile axis 630.
- the outbound segment of the cable at least partially loops around the second groove of the reciprocal member wrist pulley 612, after which it is directed away from the reciprocal axis 558.
- Figure 6B illustrates an example of how the input controllers are coupled to the restraint pantograph.
- the top tier of each input controller 520 i.e. the cylinder furthest removed from the coupling face of the support bracket, is configured to removably attach the input controller to a corresponding actuator of the IDM such that the IDM can manipulate the rotation of the input controller about their independent spooling axes 556a 556b 556c, 556d.
- each pair of input controllers 520 is coupled to one of the differentials 610 of the reciprocal pantograph 540 by a cable 560 such that the inbound segment and outbound segment of the cable couples the first input controller to the second input controller of an input controller pair.
- an outer 520a and an inner 520b input controller are paired by a first cable and the inner 520c and outer 520d are paired by a second cable, but one knowledgeable in the art will recognize that any two input controllers may be paired together.
- the reciprocal pantograph While the laparoscopic tool is attached to the IDM to perform operations at the surgical site, the reciprocal pantograph is in attached mode. While in attached mode, the differentials of the reciprocal pantograph maintain a constant length in each of the cables coupling each pair of input controllers. The total length in a cable is manipulated by the interplay of spooling and unspooling the pair of input controllers associated with a given cable, as well as by the rotation of the restraint pantograph about the reciprocal axis.
- the pulleys in the differentials and the armature rotate about the reciprocal and tensile axes to create an equal and opposite lengthening (or shortening) to compensate for the shortening (or lengthening) created by spooling or unspooling input controllers about their spooling axes.
- FIGs 6B and 6C illustrate this process and the following paragraphs further detail the interaction between the inbound and outbound cable segments, the reciprocal pantograph, and the input controller pairs.
- the inbound segment of the first cable within the first differential is the first segment 660a
- the outbound segment of the first cable within the first differential is the second segment 660b
- the inbound segment of the second cable within the second differential is the third segment 660c
- the outbound segment of the second cable within the second differential is the fourth segment 660d.
- the first input controller of the first controller pair controls the length of the first segment 660a; the second input controller of the first controller pair controls the length of the second segment 660b; the first input controller of the second controller pair controls the length of the third segment 660c; and, the second input controller of the second controller pair controls the length of the fourth segment 660d.
- Any pair of cable segments introduced above could be described as an inbound/outbound segment pair depending on the spooling/unspooling being performed on one the input controllers of the pair at that moment in time.
- an inner and an outer input controller e.g. 520a and 520b
- the input controllers may be configured in different pairings.
- a first state the input controller pair concurrently decreases length of the first segment and increases length of the second segment.
- the input controller pair concurrently increases length of the second segment and decreases length of the first segment.
- the input controller pair concurrently unspools of the first and second segments, resulting in a compensatory rotation of the reciprocal pantograph about the reciprocal axis to conserve cable length.
- the input controller pair concurrently spools the first and second segment, resulting in a compensatory rotation of the reciprocal pantograph about the reciprocal axis to conserve cable length.
- a fifth "neutral" state the input controller pair does not manipulate the cable segments. In all possible states, the length of the cable from the first input controller to the second controller of an input controller pair is conserved.
- FIG 6B is a planar view of the support bracket which illustrates the input controllers and the reciprocal pantograph in the first state for the cable associated with the first 660a and second 660b segments.
- the first input controller 520a unspools the cable, increasing length 670a (illustrated as an arrow) in the first segment 660a while the second input controller 520b spools the same cable decreasing length 670b of the second segment 660b.
- FIG 6C is a planar view of the support bracket which illustrates the input controllers and the reciprocal pantograph in the third tensile state.
- the first input controller of an input controller pair e.g. an outer input controller 520a, pair spools around its spooling axis 556a (attempting to decrease the length 680a in the first segment 660a) while the second input controller, e.g. an inner input controller 520b, of the input controller pair spools around its spooling axis 556b (attempting to decrease the length 680a of the third segment 660b).
- the fourth state is similar to the third state with the first and the second input controllers simultaneously unspooling the first and second segment with the unspooling offset by a rotation of the differential about the reciprocal axis.

- the working members 710 are further coupled such that the flat side of each forceps half are facing one another and may be coplanar.
- the surgical wrist is a set of two wrist pulleys with four grooves.
- the first wrist pulley 722 may have a larger radius than the second wrist pulley 724.
- the wrist pulleys have a front face and a back face and are able to rotate around a centrally located rotation axis that is orthogonal to the front and back faces, hereafter the wrist axes 742.

- the member pulleys 712 are coupled to the effector housing by a singular set screw 734 that passes from one side of the housing to the other side of the housing along the coaxial member axes 740 through the central member bores 716 in the member pulleys 712.
- the member pulleys 712 are further coupled to the effector housing with the forceps halves 714 extending away from the effector housing towards the active end of the cable shaft 420 along the operation axis 430.
- the housing couples the wrist pulleys 720 and the member pulleys 712 such that the member pulleys are nearer the active end of the cable shaft 720 along the operation axis 430 than the wrist pulleys.
- the effector housing 730 couples the wrist pulleys 720 and member pulleys 714 to maintain the orthogonal set of the operation axis 430, the member axes 740, and the parallel wrist axes 742, i.e. the outer face of the member pulley 712, the front faces of the wrist pulleys 720, and the operation axis 430 are orthogonal 744.
- the wrist pulleys 720 and the member pulleys 714 are further coupled by two cables.
- the cables within the effector housing are distinct from the two cables coupling the input controllers to the reciprocal pantograph, hereafter referred to as the third and the fourth cable for clarity.
- the cables may be described as having inbound and outbound segments, with the inbound segments extending from driver end to the action end within the cable shaft and the outbound segments extending from the action end to the driver end within the cable shaft.
- the inbound segment of the third cable is the fifth segment 750a and the outbound segment of the third cable is the sixth segment 750b.
- the inbound segment 650a the cable at least partially loops around the second wrist pulley in its first groove.
- the fifth segment 650a then at least partially loops around the first grooves of within the housing the first wrist pulley 722, coupling the first wrist pulley to the second wrist pulley.
- the inbound segment then at least partially loops around the first groove of the first member pulley 712, coupling the first wrist pulley to the member pulley.
- the inbound segment 750a at least partially looping around the first member pulleys 712 reverses the direction of the cable away from the action end and begins the outbound segment 650b.

- the inbound segment 750c at least partially loops around the second grooves of the wrist pulleys 720 on the inbound route, at least partially loops around the second member pulley 712 reversing the direction to begin the outbound segment 75 Od, and at least partially loops around the fourth grooves of the wrist pulleys
- the inbound cables at least partially loop one half of the second wrist pulley and the opposite half of the first wrist pulley. It will be obvious to one skilled in the art that these halves may be reversed.
- the third cable at least partially loops around the wrist pulleys in the first groove on the inbound route and the third groove on the outbound route while the fourth cable at least partially loops around the wrist pulleys in the second groove on the inbound route and the fourth groove on the outbound route.
- the grooves of the inbound and outbound routes for the third and fourth cables may be configured in a different manner.
- Figure 8 illustrates how the input controllers 520 are coupled to the surgical effector 440.
- the bottom tier of each input controller 520 is coupled to a rotary joint 570 on the support bracket 410.
- Each inner input controller and outer input controller pair (e.g. 520a and 520b) is coupled to the surgical effector 440 by a cable that passes through the operative through-hole 518 such that the inbound segment fifth segment 750a of the outer input controller is coupled to the outbound sixth segment 750b of the inner input controller via the surgical effector 440.
- the inbound and outbound segments as well as the paired input controllers are interchangeable.
- the surgical effector has three controllable degrees of freedom: a first yaw angle 910, a second yaw angle 920, and a pitch angle 930 illustrated in FIGS 9A - 9D.
- the first degree of freedom is motion of the first forceps half 714 as the first member pulley 712 rotates 912 about the member axis 740, i.e. the yaw axis, moving the forceps half 714 in the plane of the first member pulley such that the forceps half creates a first yaw angle 910 with the operation axis 430.
- the second degree of freedom is motion of the second forceps half 714 as the second member pulley 712 rotates about the member axis 710, i.e. the yaw axis, moving the second forceps half in the plane of the second member pulley such that the forceps half creates a second yaw angle 920 with the operation axis 430.
- the third degree of freedom is motion of the working members as the first wrist pulley rotates 922 about the first wrist axis 742, i.e. the pitch axis, moving the working members in the plane of the first wrist pulley 722 such that the working members create first yaw angle 920 with the operation axis 430.
- the first and the second yaw angles are coplanar and the plane of the pitch angle is orthogonal to the plane of the yaw angles.
- the first yaw angle, the second yaw angle, and the pitch angle may have different orientations to the operation axis.
- the first and second yaw angles may not be coplanar.
- the surgical effector may also move in two additional degrees of freedom: a rotation angle and a translation distance.
- the rotation angle is created by rotation of the IDM and MCI about the operation axis.
- the translation distance is created by motion of the robotic arms such that the cable shaft translates along the operation axis.
- Movement about the three degrees of freedom in this system is created by rotation of the member pulleys 714 and the wrist pulleys 720 about their respective axes.
- the rotation of the pulleys about their axes is caused by the input controllers spooling or unspooling the cables to control the length of the cables.
- FIGs. 9A - 9D further demonstrate a method for causing motion of the surgical effector about the three controllable degrees of freedom by controlling length in the cables.
- each input controller is coupled to either the input or output segment of the third cable or the input or output segment of the fourth cable in the surgical effector.
- the first input controller of the first controller pair controls the length of the fifth segment 750a; the second input controller of the first controller pair controls the length of the sixth segment 750b; the first input controller of the second controller pair controls the length of the seventh segment 750c; and, the second input controller of the second controller pair controls the length of the eighth segment 750d.
- FIG. 9 A illustrates the surgical effector in an example "neutral" state, i.e. the first yaw angle 910, the second yaw angle 920, and the pitch angle 930 have no offset from the operation axis 430 with no cable segment length being modified.
- the first yaw angle 910 is manipulated by controlling length in the fourth cable such that the length of the seventh segment increases 920 while the length of the eighth segment decreases 922.
- the fourth cable causes the fourth cable to move which in turn causes first member pulley to rotate about the yaw axis 740 such that the first yaw angle 910 between the half forceps 714 and the operation axis 430 increases.
- the first yaw angle 910 can be decreased by decreasing the length of the seventh segment and increasing the length of the eighth segment. In both configurations, the total length of the surgical cable is maintained.
- the second yaw angle is manipulated by controlling length in the third cable such that the length of the fifth segment 750a increases while the length of the sixth segment 750b decreases.
- This configuration causes the fourth cable to move which in turn causes second member pulley to rotate about the yaw axis 740 such that the second yaw angle 920 between the half forceps and the operation axis 430 increases.
- the third cable moves such that the yaw angle can be decreased by increasing the length of the eighth segment and decreasing the length of the seventh segment.
- motion of the forceps halves about the yaw axes can be in either direction away from the operation axis in the plane of member pulleys. In both configurations, the total length of the surgical cable is maintained.
- the manipulation of segment length of the cables creates an additional 'degree of freedom,' such as grip strength.
- the motion about the first and second degrees of freedom may limit one another, i.e. one forceps half is unable to change its yaw angle 910 due to the position and yaw angle 920 of the other forceps half. This may occur, for example, due to an object being held between the forceps halves.
- the amount of electrical load measured in the system when the first and second degrees of freedom limit one another provides a measure of grip strength.
- FIG. 9C illustrates the surgical effector in a neutral state, i.e. the first yaw angle 910, the second yaw angle 920, and the pitch angle 930 have no offset from the operation axis 430 with no cable segment being manipulated by an input controller.
- the pitch angle 930 is manipulated by controlling length in the third and fourth cables. Length in the fifth and sixth segments is increased 924 while length in the seventh and eighth segments is decreased 926 causing the first wrist pulley to rotate 914 about the pitch axis.
- This configuration causes the third and fourth cables to move which increases the pitch angle between the working members 710 and the operation axis 430 in the plane of the first wrist pulley 722.
- Rotation of the effectors about the pitch angle compensates for the increasing and decreasing of length of the segments such that the first and second cables are length conservative.
- the pitch angle can be decreased by decreasing length in the fifth and sixth segments while increasing length in the seventh and eighth segments. In all configurations, the length of the surgical cables is conserved. Additionally, motion of the working members about the pitch axis can be in either direction away from the operation axis in the plane of the wrist pulley.
- this control scheme is a computer program running on the control base of the master device configured to interpret the motions of the user into corresponding actions of the surgical effector at the surgical site.
- the computer program may be configured to measure the electric load required to rotate the input controllers to compute the length and/or movement in the cable segments.
- the computer program may be further configured to compensate for changes in cable elasticity, (e.g. if the cables are a polymer), by increasing / decreasing the amount of rotation needed for the input controllers to change the length of a cable segment.
- the tension may be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the rotation of all the input controllers in coordination. The tension can be increased by simultaneously increasing rotation, and the tension can be decreased by simultaneously decreasing rotation.
- the computer program may be further configured to maintain a minimum level of tension in the cables. If the tension in any of the cables is sensed to drop below a lower minimum tension threshold, then the computer program may increase rotation of all input controllers in coordination until the cable tension in all cables is above the lower minimum tension threshold. If the tension in all of the cables is sensed to rise above a upper minimum tension threshold, then the computer program may decrease rotation of all input controllers in coordination until the cable tension in any of the cables is below the upper minimum tension threshold.
- the computer program may be further configured to recognize the grip strength of the operator based on the load of the motors actuating the input controllers coupled to the cable segments, particularly in a situation where the working members are holding on to an object or are pressed together. More generally, the computer program may be further configured to further control the translation and rotation of the surgical instrument via the robotic arm and IDM.
- the reciprocal pantograph is configured to mimic the motion of the surgical effector in a reciprocal manner.
- FIGs 1 OA - IOC illustrate examples of the reciprocal motion in the surgical instrument.
- FIG 10A illustrates an example wiring of the slave device laparoscope in the neutral state.
- the outer input controller 520a and the inner input controller 520b of a first input controller pair are coupled by the first and the third cables and control the spooling and unspooling of cable segments.
- the first cable couples the input controller pair within the reciprocal pantograph 540 via the first 660a and second 660b cable segments.
- the third cable couples the input controller pair within the surgical effector 440 via the fifth 750a and sixth 750b segment.
- the length in the first and second cable segments is controlled by rotating the outer 520a and inner 520b input controllers about their spooling axes 524, respectively. This rotation concurrently changes the length in the fifth and sixth cable segments in a reciprocal manner, respectively, e.g. increasing length in the first segment 750 decreases length in the fifth segment 662, conserving the total cable length between the input controllers.
- the inner input controller and the outer input controller of a second input controller pair are coupled by the second and the fourth cables and control the spooling and unspooling of cable segments.
- the inner input controller 520c and the outer input controller 520d of a first input controller pair are coupled by the second and the fourth cables and control the segment length.
- the second cable couples the input controller pair within the reciprocal pantograph 540 via the third 660c and fourth 660d cable segments.
- the fourth cable couples the input controller pair within the surgical effector 440 via the seventh 750c and eighth 750d segment.
- the length of the third and fourth cable segments is controlled by rotating the inner 520c and outer 520d input controllers about their spooling axes 524, respectively. This rotation concurrently changes the length of the seventh and eighth cable segments in a reciprocal manner, respectively, e.g. increasing length in the third segment decreases length in the seventh segment.
- FIG 10B shows first an embodiment in which the first yaw angle 910 of the surgical effector 440 is increased.
- the yaw angle is controlled by spooling and unspooling the first input controller pair, 520a and 520b, such the length of the fifth segment decreases 1000 while the length of the sixth segment increases 1002.
- the length in the first segment increases 1004 while length in the second segment decreases 1006 such that, within the restraint pantograph, the member pulley rotates about the tensile axis.
- the overall length of the third cable is maintained in the reciprocal pantograph 540, and the length of the first cable is maintained in the surgical effector and cable shaft.
- the second yaw angle may be manipulated by similarly spooling the second pair of input controllers to manipulate the length of the segments of the third and fourth cables. Either yaw angle may be decreased by manipulating segment lengths with the input controllers in an inverse manner.
- FIG IOC shows an embodiment in which the pitch angle 930 of the surgical effector 440 is increased.
- the pitch angle of the surgical effector is controlled by unspooling the first cable such that the length of the fifth segment 1010 and length of sixth segment 1012 attempts to increase while simultaneously spooling the second cable such that the length of the seventh segment 1020 and length of eighth segment 1022 attempts to decrease.
- the change of the pitch angle in the surgical effector compensates for the spooling and unspooling of the cables such that the first and second cables are length conservative.
- the pitch angle 930 increases, the length of the first segment 1014 and length of the second segment 1016 increases while length of the third segment 1024 and fourth segment 1026 decreases such that, within the restraint pantograph, the wrist pulleys and armature rotate about the reciprocal axis 1030.
- the overall length of the third cable is maintained in the reciprocal pantograph as discussed previously.
- the pitch angle may be decreased by manipulating segment length of the cables with the input controllers in an inverse manner.
- the input controllers and reciprocal pantograph may also operate in detached mode in which the input controllers are configured to maintain the lengths of the cables in the restraint pantograph. This is useful when attaching or detaching the surgical instrument from the IDM and robotic arm. To remove the surgical instrument from the IDM and robotic arm, the cables may be manipulated to achieve a particular length that will be maintained through the period between uses of the surgical instrument.
- the length of the first through fourth cables are controlled during detached mode to achieve a desired result via actuation of a mechanism other than the input controllers; for example, the mechanism may be a switch, a button, a lever, a pin, or similar.
- actuation of the alternate mechanism may release any held object from the effectors; move cable positions towards neutral positions; or, move the effectors to a neutral position for removal, etc.
- the restraint pantograph may be physically rotated about the reciprocal axis such that one degree of freedom of the surgical effector may be manipulated.
- the degree of freedom manipulated depends on how the input controller pairs are coupled.
- FIG. 11 shows the surgical effector with the fifth through eighth cable segments labelled, 750a - 750d.
- the input controllers are coupled into two pairs by the differential and the surgical effector.
- the surgical instrument is configured such that rotation of the reciprocal pantograph spools and unspools the cable segments pairing one input controller pair while reciprocally unspooling and spooling the other input controller pair.
- rotation of the reciprocal pantograph yields three different motions of the surgical effector depending on the input controller pairings: the first possible pairing yields manipulation of the pitch angle, the second possible pairing yields simultaneous manipulation of both yaw angles in the same direction, and the third possible pairing yields simultaneous manipulation of both yaw angles in opposing directions.
- pairing combinations may be incorporated in to the tool for a potential mechanical override of the surgical instrument in specific situations, e.g. emergency release, power outage etc.
- the third pairing allows for an emergency command to cause the surgical effectors to automatically release an object being held, allowing more rapid removal of the surgical instrument in case of emergency.
- any reference to "one embodiment” or “an embodiment” means that a particular element, feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment.
- the appearances of the phrase “in one embodiment” in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment.
- Coupled and “connected” along with their derivatives.
- some embodiments may be described using the term “coupled” to indicate that two or more elements are in direct physical or electrical contact.
- the term “coupled,” however, may also mean that two or more elements are not in direct contact with each other, but yet still co-operate or interact with each other.
- the embodiments are not limited in this context unless otherwise explicitly stated.
- the terms “comprises,” “comprising,” “includes,” “including,” “has,” “having” or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion.
- a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements is not necessarily limited to only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
- "or” refers to an inclusive or and not to an exclusive or. For example, a condition A or B is satisfied by any one of the following: A is true (or present) and B is false (or not present), A is false (or not present) and B is true (or present), and both A and B are true (or present).
