INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240246241 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD
The patent application describes an information processing apparatus designed to autonomously control a robot arm supporting a medical device, based on the position and posture of a surgical tool recognized by an event-based vision sensor (EVS).
- The position/posture recognition unit identifies the position and posture of the surgical tool using event data from the EVS, which detects changes in luminance from a light emitting unit in the tool.
- The control instruction unit generates control information for the robot arm based on the recognized position and posture of the surgical tool.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in surgical robotics to enhance the speed and precision of robot-assisted surgeries. - It can also be used in other fields requiring precise control of robotic arms, such as manufacturing and assembly processes.
Problems Solved: - Enables faster and more accurate control of robot arms supporting medical devices. - Improves the efficiency and effectiveness of surgical procedures by automating certain tasks.
Benefits: - Increased speed and accuracy in controlling robot arms. - Enhanced safety and precision in medical procedures. - Potential for reduced human error and improved outcomes in surgeries.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Robotic Arm Control System for Medical Devices" This technology has significant commercial potential in the healthcare industry for robot-assisted surgeries. It can also be utilized in industries requiring precise robotic arm control, such as manufacturing and logistics.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the event-based vision sensor improve the control of the robot arm in surgical procedures? 2. What are the key advantages of using this autonomous control system in medical device support applications?
Original Abstract Submitted
to autonomously control a robot arm at a higher speed. an information processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes a position/posture recognition unit () configured to recognize a position and a posture of a surgical tool on the basis of event data input from an event-based vision sensor (evs) including a plurality of pixels that detects a change in luminance of light from a light emitting unit provided in the surgical tool as an event, and a control instruction unit () configured to generate control information for controlling a robot arm that supports a medical device including the evs on the basis of the recognized position and posture of the surgical tool.
