Abstract

A surgical robot includes an operating section that receives a pressure from a gas, a pressure generating device that generates the pressure, a pressure detector that detects a pressure supplied from the pressure generating device to the operating section, and a control device configured to implement an operation diagnosis device that makes a determination, using the pressure detected by the pressure detector, whether the operating section is operable, and that notifies a result of the determination.

Claims (30)

1. A surgical robot comprising:

an operating section that receives a pressure from a gas;

a pressure generating device that generates the pressure;

a pressure detector that detects the pressure supplied from the pressure generating device to the operating section; and

an operation diagnosis device that determines whether the pressure detected by the pressure detector meets a first pressure requirement, determines, based on the pressure meeting the first pressure requirement and a button being manipulated, whether a driver controller is activated, determines, in response to the driver controller being activated, whether the pressure detected by the pressure detector meets a second pressure requirement, and, in response to the pressure meeting the second pressure requirement and the button being manipulated notifies that the pressure generating device is operable.

2. The surgical robot according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a display;

wherein the operation diagnosis device notifies the result by displaying the result of the determinations on the display.

3. A surgical robot comprising:

a pressure generating device that generates a pressure;

a pressure cylinder that receives the pressure from the pressure generating device;

a pressure sensor that detects the pressure supplied from the pressure generating device to the pressure cylinder;

a monitor; and

hardware logic or at least one processor configured to determine whether a first detected pressure meets a first pressure requirement, determine, based on the first detected pressure meeting the first pressure requirement, whether a driver controller is activated, determine, based on the determination that the drive controller is activated, whether a second detected pressure meets a second pressure requirement, and display, on the monitor, a notification based on a result of the determinations.

4. The surgical robot according to claim 3 , wherein each pressure requirement is each corresponding detected pressure being not equal to or below a specified pressure.

5. The surgical robot according to claim 4 , wherein when the first detected pressure meets the first pressure requirement, the notification indicates that the first pressure requirement has been met.

6. The surgical robot according to claim 5 , wherein when the first detected pressure does not meet the first pressure requirement, the notification indicates that the first pressure requirement has not been met.

7. The surgical robot according to claim 4 , wherein when the second detected pressure does not meet the second pressure requirement, the notification indicates that the second pressure requirement has not been met.

8. A surgical robot comprising:

a pressure generating device that generates a gas pressure;

a pressure cylinder that receives the gas pressure

a first sensor and a second sensor that detect the gas pressure supplied from the pressure generating device to the pressure cylinder;

a display; and

hardware logic or at least one processor configured to at least:

determine whether a first pressure detected by the first sensor meets a first pressure requirement,

determine, based on the first pressure meeting the first pressure requirement and a confirmation button being manipulated, whether a driver controller is activated,

determine, based on the determination of the driver controller being activated, whether a second pressure detected by the second sensor meets a second pressure requirement, and

display, on the display based on the second pressure meeting the second pressure requirement and the confirmation button being manipulated, a notification that the pressure cylinder is operable.

9. The surgical robot according to claim 8 , wherein the first pressure requirement is the same as the second pressure requirement.

10. The surgical robot according to claim 8 , wherein the first pressure requirement is different than the second pressure requirement.
