Product 02 Robotic Surgical Trainer

Train on a robot.
Not on a simulator.

Real robot. Real instrument. Real training.

The Robotic Surgical Trainer provides hands-on training on a physical robotic system, allowing trainees to operate a real robotic arm through teleoperation and perform surgical tasks with a real instrument on a physical training platform.

The drawing
is the machine.

This drawing was traced from the footage, frame for frame. Drag across it to compare the two, and pick a joint to find it on the arm.

How it works: hand, robot, view.

Three views from a single recording of the Robotic Surgical Trainer. They run on the same clock, so what the hand does on the left is what the instrument does on the right.

  1. 01

    Hand on the controller

    The operator guides a hand controller at a desk.

  2. 02

    Robot moves the instrument

    The arm carries a real instrument through a real port.

  3. 03

    What the camera sees

    The task, viewed through the endoscope.

The complete
setup.

Everything needed for hands-on robotic training, in one system: an operator console with hand controls and a surgical view, paired with a robotic arm and physical training table.

Concept visualisation of the Robotic Surgical Trainer setup: an operator seated at a console with hand controls and displays, and the robotic arm at a draped training table.Concept visualisation

What it is.

A physical robot
Train on a real robotic arm, with physical movement and instrument control, not a virtual representation.
Teleoperation
Operate the robot remotely through intuitive hand controls, mirroring the fundamental interaction of robotic surgery.
Glasses-free 3D console
A stereoscopic surgical view with natural depth perception, without the need for 3D glasses.
Real instruments. Real port.
A laparoscopic instrument passes through a physical access port and interacts with a surgical training phantom.
The endoscopic view
See the procedure through the instrument camera, replicating the visual perspective of minimally invasive surgery.

Start in
simulation.

The Surgical Simulator is a simulation environment with a glasses-free 3D console and haptic feedback, on simulated tissue that deforms under the instrument. The trainer is where the work moves onto a real robot.
