Anthro-Centric Multisensory Interfaces for Sensory Augmentation of Telesurgery.

摘要

During the Anthro-Centric Multisensory Interface for Sensory Augmentation of Tele-Surgery (ACMI-SATS) project, theresearch team developed a testbed that allows for testing and evaluation of hypotheses related to tele-surgical robotic humancenteredsurgeon interfaces, cognitive workload, efficiency and situation awareness. The ACMI-SATS testbed includes bothphysical surgical robotic capability and simulation environments to maximize the efficiency of system development. ACMISATSprovides a human centered multisensory interface that allows one or more surgeons to collaborate one or more casessimultaneously, whether co-located or remotely distributed. We completed the testbed hardware and software and developeda set of ACMI-SATS augmentations for testing during out-year funding and future studies focused on development of optimaltele-surgical, tele-mentoring and remote operations technologies and methodologies for both military and civilian applications.
