MULTI-FUNCTIONAL FOOT PEDAL ASSEMBLY FOR CONTROLLING A ROBOTIC SURGICAL SYSTEM

摘要

A foot pedal assembly for controlling a robotic surgical system includes a foot pedal assembly base including an axle, a foot pedal slidably and pivotally coupled to the axle, and a sensor arrangement configured to detect an axial position of the foot pedal along the axle and a pivoted position of the foot pedal around the axle. Different combinations of different detected axial positions and detected pivoted positions are correlateable to different functions of the robotic surgical system.
