Abstract

This application provides a surgical robot control method, a computer device, and a surgical robot system. The surgical robot control method includes: receiving a user demand, and generating an interactive control command; generating a motion control command according to the interactive control command; and controlling a terminal of a mechanical arm to perform the motion control command. The motion control command includes controlling the terminal of the mechanical arm to act in accordance with a plurality of motion modes. The surgical robot control method may control the terminal of the mechanical arm to act in accordance with the plurality of motion modes through the motion control command, realize different motion schemes in various clinical application scenarios, and realize controlling the terminal of the mechanical arm to be flexibly switched between the plurality of motion modes in any application scenario through the interactive control command.

Claims (13)

1 . A surgical robot control method, comprising:

receiving a user demand, and generating an interactive control command;

generating a motion control command according to the interactive control command; and

controlling a terminal of a mechanical arm to perform the motion control command, and the motion control command comprising controlling the terminal of the mechanical arm to act in accordance with a plurality of motion modes; wherein the plurality of motion modes comprises: a free motion mode, an autonomous motion mode, an axial motion mode, a fine-adjustment motion mode, and a spheric motion mode.

2 . The surgical robot control method of claim 1 , wherein, the motion control command comprises any one or more of following four control commands of:

controlling each of the plurality of motion modes to be performed circularly for several times;

controlling interactions between the autonomous motion mode and each of the free motion mode, the axial motion mode, the fine-adjustment motion mode, and the spheric motion mode to be performed;

controlling a two-way interaction between the axial motion mode and the fine-adjustment motion mode, a two-way interaction between the axial motion mode and the spheric motion mode, and a two-way interaction between the fine-adjustment motion mode and the spheric motion mode to be performed; and

controlling a one-way switching of each of the axial motion mode, the fine-adjustment motion mode, and the spheric motion mode to the free motion mode to be performed.

3 . The surgical robot control method of claim 2 , further comprising: performing an information interaction with at least one of the plurality of motion modes, and realizing a safety prevention and control for the surgical robot.

4 . The surgical robot control method of claim 3 , wherein a step of realizing the safety prevention and control for the surgical robot comprises realizing the safety prevention and control for the surgical robot by using any one or more of:

executing an emergency stop control on the mechanical arm; issuing a warning of a safety risk to a user; generating an automatic evasion path for the mechanical arm; and prohibiting a motion of the mechanical arm.

5 . A computer-readable storage medium, having a computer program stored thereon, wherein, the computer program, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform steps of the method of claim 1 .
