Abstract
A robotized surgery system (10) comprises at least one robot arm (11) which acts under the control of a control console (12) intended for the surgeon. The console (12) comprises an eye tracking system (21) for detecting the direction of the surgeon'"'"'s gaze and for entering commands depending on the directions of the gaze detected. The console (22) comprises advantageously a screen (23) with at least one zone (23) for viewing the operating field and, among the commands which can be performed depending on the gaze directions, there is advantageously an automatic command for enabling or disabling the movement of the robot arm (11) when a gaze direction which falls within or outside of said zone (23) of the screen is detected.

- 16. Robotized surgery system (10) comprising at least one robot arm (11) which acts under the control of a control console (12) which is intended for the surgeon, characterized in that the console (12) comprises an eye tracking system (21) for detecting the direction of the surgeon'"'"'s gaze and for entering commands depending on the directions of the gaze detected, the console (12) comprises a screen (22) with at least one zone for viewing the operating field and a human machine interface which displays on the screen selection areas (31) which are associated with commands, the tracking system estimating the direction of the surgeon'"'"'s gaze and performing the selection of commands associated with one area of the selection areas (31) when it detects a gaze direction which falls within said one area and the console comprises manipulators (17, 18) for operating the robot arms and the commands associated with the selection areas (31) comprise commands for mutual assignment of manipulators and robot arms.
- 23. Method for controlling a robotized surgery system comprising at least one robot arm (11) which acts under the control of a control console (12) intended for the surgeon, wherein the direction of the surgeon'"'"'s gaze is detected and functions of the surgery system are controlled depending on the gaze direction detected and wherein a new robot arm chosen from among several robot arms is assigned to a control manipulator by selecting with one'"'"'s gaze a picture of the new arm shown on a screen and dragging by means of one'"'"'s gaze this picture into a screen position showing the picture of the robot assigned to this manipulator.
- 28. Robotized surgery system (10) comprising at least one robot arm (11) which acts under the control of a control console (12) which is intended for the surgeon, characterized in that the console (12) comprises an eye tracking system (21) for detecting the direction of the surgeon'"'"'s gaze and for entering commands depending on the directions of the gaze detected and in that it comprises a system (21) for detecting the distance between the surgeon'"'"'s eyes and a screen (22) showing a picture of the operating field, this distance detection system performing a variation in the enlargement and/or position of the picture of the operating field shown on the screen (22) depending on a variation in the distance detected.
- 36. Method for controlling a robotized surgery system comprising at least one robot arm (11) which acts under the control of a control console (12) intended for the surgeon, wherein the direction of the surgeon'"'"'s gaze is detected and functions of the surgery system are controlled depending on the gaze direction detected and wherein a picture of the operating field is shown on a screen, the distance of the surgeon'"'"'s eyes from the screen is detected and the enlargement and/or position of the picture is varied depending on the distance detected and/or it is signalled whether the distance detected is within a predefined working space of the distance detection system and/or whether it is within a predefined viewing space of the picture of the operating field, preferably in 3D.
