Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods for detecting unexpected movement of a surgical instrument during a robot-assisted surgical procedure are provided. The surgical robot system may be configured to measure forces and torques experienced by the surgical instrument during the surgical procedure and determine if the forces and torques are within an acceptable range. The robot system is further configured to notify the user of the presence of the unexpected movement.
Claims (16)
1. A method for detecting expected movement of a surgical instrument of a surgical robot system, said method comprising:
applying an insertion force to a surgical instrument to drive the instrument into a bone of a patient;
monitoring one or more forces associated with the insertion force, wherein the monitored forces are measured by at least one strain gauge positioned on the surgical instrument;
comparing the monitored forces to a predetermined range or threshold expected for the surgical procedure;
providing a notification, via the robot system, upon detecting that the monitored forces fall outside of the predetermined range or threshold,
monitoring bone movement of the patient caused by a force on the surgical instrument through a dynamic reference array attached to the patient; and
automatically adjusting a guide tube of the robot system to offset the bone movement based on the monitoring of the bone movement.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the surgical instrument is configured with a cutting tip.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the surgical instrument is inserted through the guide tube that is coupled to an end effector of the robot system.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein each strain gauge is configured for determining forces applied on the surgical instrument when the surgical instrument contacts bone.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein each strain gauge is configured to determine deflection of the surgical instrument when the surgical instrument contacts bone.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the robot system determines if skiving has occurred based on the forces applied on the surgical instrument.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the surgical instrument includes a tapered tip.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more forces are measured in at least one of an x, y, or z direction relative to the robot system.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the surgical instrument is a cutting tool.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the measured force is a lateral force applied on the surgical instrument.
