Abstract
Medical robot systems, surgical tool assemblies, devices, and methods regarding the same. The medical robot system may include a robot coupled to an end-effector having a guide tube. The robot may be configured for controlled movement and positioning of the end-effector. The system further includes a motor assembly coupled to the robot. The motor assembly may be configured to move the end-effector along one or more of an x-axis, a y-axis, and a z-axis. The surgical instrument is positionable and/or slidable within the guide tube. The surgical instrument includes at least one detectable feature, such as a reflective lens or stripe. A detection device is configured and arranged to detect the at least one detectable feature. The system enables a depth of the surgical instrument in the guide tube to be determined by the at least one detectable feature on the instrument.
Claims (25)
1. A medical robot system, comprising:
an optical tracking system;
a robot having a robot arm and a processor configured to be in communication with the optical tracking system;
a surgical instrument having an elongate shaft and including a plurality of markers positioned circumferentially around the elongate shaft for tracking by the optical tracking system;
an end-effector coupled to the robot arm, the end-effector having a guide tube for receiving the surgical instrument and a plurality of tracking markers that are tracked by the optical tracking system;
wherein the processor of the robot and the optical tracking system determine is configured to determine a depth of the surgical instrument in the guide tube by the markers of the surgical instrument and the tracking markers of the end-effector;
wherein the plurality of markers of the surgical instrument and the plurality of tracking markers of the end effector are optical markers trackable by the optical tracking system;
wherein the plurality of markers of the surgical instrument are disposed on the elongate shaft so as to protrude from an outer surface of the elongate shaft.
2. The medical robot system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of markers of the surgical instrument includes three and only three markers spaced circumferentially around the elongate shaft of the surgical instrument.
3. The medical robot system of claim 1 , wherein each marker of the surgical instrument has a mirrored surface under an exterior surface of the each marker.
4. The medical robot system of claim 1 , wherein each marker of the surgical instrument includes at least one reflective marker.
5. The medical robot system of claim 1 , wherein each of the markers includes a housing that circumferentially surrounds the each marker.
6. The medical robot system of claim 5 , wherein the housing includes an annular collar that surrounds the each marker.
7. A medical robot system, comprising:
an end-effector having a plurality of tracking markers trackable by an optical tracking system;
a robot coupled to the end-effector and having a processor, the robot configured for controlled movement and positioning of the end-effector, the end-effector including a guide tube having a through-hole;
a motor assembly coupled to the robot and configured to move the end-effector along an x-axis, a y-axis, and a z-axis; and
a surgical instrument having an elongate shaft configured to be received within the guide tube through-hole, the surgical instrument including a plurality of markers arranged circumferentially around the elongate shaft for tracking by the optical tracking system;
wherein the processor of the robot and the optical tracking system determine is configured to determine a depth of the surgical instrument in the guide tube by the markers of the surgical instrument and the tracking markers of the end-effector;
wherein the plurality of markers of the surgical instrument are disposed on the elongate shaft so as to protrude from an outer surface of the elongate shaft.
8. The medical robot system of claim 7 , wherein the plurality of markers of the surgical instrument includes three and only three markers spaced circumferentially around the elongate shaft of the surgical instrument.
9. The medical robot system of claim 7 , wherein each marker of the surgical instrument has a mirrored surface under an exterior surface of the each marker.
10. The medical robot system of claim 7 , wherein each marker of the surgical instrument is a reflective marker.
11. The medical robot system of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of markers of the surgical instrument includes three reflective markers.
12. The medical robot system of claim 7 , wherein the plurality of markers are positioned distal to the handle of the surgical instrument.
