Method for ergonomic positioning of robotic surgery input device
The patent US12004835B2 outlines a method for positioning an input device in a robotic surgery system to enhance user ergonomics. The method involves receiving input that indicates the ergonomic vertical position of a hand controller, which is movable within a designated workspace. This ergonomic position is determined based on the hand controller's placement at an initialization position, prompting the workstation's platform to adjust vertically to align the hand controller with the ergonomic position. The system accommodates both right and left hand controllers, allowing for a tailored ergonomic setup based on user preferences and physical positioning, such as resting the wrist on the knee or thigh.
Additionally, the method includes features for user interaction and customization. Users can provide input to modify the desired ergonomic vertical position, and the system can store user identification along with their preferred ergonomic settings for future use. Upon initialization, the platform can automatically adjust to a central position, a predefined ergonomic height, or a user-specified height. The method also incorporates visual prompts to guide users in positioning the hand controller correctly, ensuring that the ergonomic adjustments are both intuitive and responsive to individual user needs.
