Application: Guidance for positioning a patient and surgical robot (Patent ID: US20240197419A1)
The patent filed by Medtronic Plc describes systems, methods, and computer-readable media for providing guidance in positioning a body and a surgical robot. The system includes an image capture device, a head-mounted display, and a computing device that generates a virtual training environment based on image data of the surgical environment, detects the pose of the table and surgical robot, determines the user's pose, and provides guidance for positioning the body on the table or surgical robot based on a surgical training parameter. The guidance is displayed on the head-mounted display, aiding in surgical training and positioning.
The system further includes features such as generating a virtual environment with representations of the table and surgical robot, providing guidance for positioning a mannequin on the table based on a surgical parameter, displaying textual commands or augmented reality images for positioning the body or surgical robot, and analyzing image data to identify the user and generate a representation of the user in the virtual environment. The system allows for customization of surgical parameters, such as type of surgery, patient details, and medical conditions, and offers interactive guidance for optimal positioning of the body and surgical robot during training sessions, enhancing the overall surgical training experience.
