System and method for re-centering an imaging device and input control

摘要

A system and method for re-centering an imaging device and input control includes a medical device having one or more end effectors, an imaging device, and one or more for remotely operating the one or more end effectors. An input control and a control unit include an end effector, an imaging device, and one or more processors coupled to the input control. In response to the re-centering request, the control unit temporarily suspends the remote control of the end effector by the input control; and performs the visual field re-centering movement of the imaging device so that the end effector is within the visual field space of the imaging device. Determining one or more input control re-centering movements to provide position and orientation harmonization between each of the input controls and a corresponding one of the end effectors; Perform input control re-centering movement; restore remote control of end effector by input control.
