ROBOTIC SYSTEMS, ROBOTIC SYSTEM USER INTERACES, HUMAN INTERFACE DEVICES FOR CONTROLLING ROBOTIC SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF CONTROLLING ROBOTIC SYSTEMS

摘要

A system includes an articulating probe, a surgical tool, and a controller. The controller is constructed and arranged to manipulate at least one of the articulating probe and the surgical tool. The system further includes a human interface device (HID) configured to generate a first control signal and a second control signal. The articulating probe is manipulated in response to the first control signal and the surgical tool is manipulated in response to the second control signal.
