Synthetic representation of a surgical robot
A system comprises a first robotic arm adapted to support and move a tool and a second robotic arm adapted to support and move a camera. The system also comprises an input device, a display, and a processor. The processor is configured to, in a first mode, command the first robotic arm to move the camera in response to a first input received from the input device to capture an image of the tool and present the image as a displayed image on the display. The processor is configured to, in a second mode, display a synthetic image of the first robotic arm in a boundary area around the captured image on the display, and in response to a second input, change a size of the boundary area relative a size of the displayed image.
1. A system comprising:
a first robotic arm adapted to support and move a tool;
a second robotic arm adapted to support and move a camera;
an input device;
a display; and
a processor configured to:
in a first mode, command the first robotic arm to move the camera in response to a first input received from the input device to capture an image of the tool, and present the image as a displayed image on the display; and
in a second mode, display a synthetic image of the first robotic arm in a boundary area around the captured image on the display, and in response to a second input, change a size of the boundary area relative a size of the displayed image.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second input is received at the input device.
3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the first input comprises an interaction with the input device, and wherein the second input comprises the interaction with the input device.
4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the image is of a surgical site, wherein in the first mode the interaction causes the camera to move away from the surgical site, and wherein in the second mode the interaction causes the size of the boundary area to increase and causes the size of the displayed image to decrease.
5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the synthetic image is generated via a synthetic imaging component, and wherein in the second mode the interaction increases a field of view of the synthetic imaging component.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second input is received at a second input device.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to, in a third mode, zoom the image captured by the camera in response to a third input at the second input device.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the second input comprises an interaction with the second input device, and the third input comprises the interaction with the second input device.
